About this paper

Lucas Relic, Bowen Zhang, Yi-Lin Tuan, Michael Beyeler

The authors train an encoder to choose implant electrodes by evaluating activations through a patient-specific model of percepts. Because the model is nondifferentiable, they train a surrogate and optimize on MNIST images. In simulation, it achieves lower pixel-wise mean squared error than a direct inverse-model baseline across three subject-specific models, but this does not establish improved vision in users.
