Background:

Current visual prostheses offer limited vision restoration.
Advancements require improved devices and stimulation strategies for neural activity.
Objective evaluation of visual acuity is crucial for pre-clinical development.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop an objective method for quantifying visual acuity from neural activity patterns.
To enable accurate assessment of visual prostheses in pre-clinical research.
To compare different stimulation strategies and electrode configurations.

Main Methods:

Comparing evoked neural activation patterns with target and reference patterns.
Utilizing a d-prime measure of discriminability for quantitative assessment.
Demonstrating the approach with scaled 'C' and 'E' optotypes.

Main Results:

The method accurately quantifies visual acuity, even with overlapping neural activity.
It provides a reliable measure of visual perception on clinical scales (Snellen and MAR).
Evaluated two stimulation strategies and simulated retinal implants with varying electrode pitches.

Conclusions:

This approach offers a quantitative measure of visual acuity for visual prostheses.
It allows for more accurate pre-clinical evaluation of devices and strategies.
Facilitates rapid prototyping and development of improved vision restoration technologies.
