Proposal to start an email communication for RETINA IMPLANT RESEARCH (RInet)
Research and development efforts towards prosthetic devices for blind subjects
with retinal degenerative diseases but an intact central visual system
are under way in several research groups in the U.S. as well as in Germany.
Presumably numerous further efforts worldwide are in progress without detailed
knowledge of what the other groups are doing.
In order to foster communication between those groups, we are prepared to
provide an open email service for all of us.
It could be useful for us to have a first meeting in conjunction with ARVO 96.
In case of interest, please, send a reply with
a)your institution,
b)briefly express your special interest in retina implant research and
c)make suggestions how to optimally design such an email service:RInet
