Stanford University researchers have invented goggles that can send information to chips, which behave like solar cells, implanted into eye retinas. The invention could solve blindness. Via Kalani Kirk Hausman

This is very early technology but it is a very exciting advancement. Scientists have invented an exciting technology that may be an option some day for the millions of patients suffering from blindness every year. The technology is pretty amazing. The team developed goggles which create high res images which are then optimized by a computer the size of a smart phone. Once the images are optimized, they are transferred to tiny cells under the retina via lasers from the googles. From there, the body's normal biologic processes take over and convert the light into electric impulses sent to the brain. This technology is currently only being tested in rats.

Craig Hutto considers himself part bionic man. In 2005, doctors amputated his leg after a shark attacked him during a fishing trip off the Florida Gulf Coast.

Scientists at Duke University have engineered a powerful brain-machine interface that allows primates to "move" a virtual arm with their mind and "feel" different textures belonging to virtual objects. Electrodes placed on the primates' motor and somatosensory cortex connected their brains to the virtual world created by scientists. While past interfaces have measured 50 to 100 neurons, this new method records thousands of movements at once, an order of magnitude greater which allows for more sophisticated manipulations.
