Is this the end of blind mice? Prosthetic device sends images directly to the brain

Is this the end of blind mice? Prosthetic device sends images directly to the brain: "Blind mice could be a thing of the past thanks to a new prosthetic device that’s been tested on the animals.

A Weill Medical College of Cornell University team has developed a device that takes information from the outside world and decodes it into a pattern that the brain can ‘read’ as an image.

What’s more, they are hoping that it could be used to help blind humans in less than a decade."
