Ionic artificial vision device and processing of the input and output images

Caption

Ionic artificial vision device (center), in which lithium ions migrate and interact, mimics the way in which human retinal neurons process visual signals. Processing of the input image (left) resulted in production of the output image (right) with increased edge contrast.
