Abstract:
1. A method of controlling a video configuration file downloadable to or from a video processing unit of a fitting system for a visual prosthesis having a plurality of electrodes, the video configuration file defining spatial mapping of a video signal captured from a camera of the visual prosthesis to an electrical signal for one or more electrodes of the plurality of electrodes, the method comprising: providing a computer interface to guide a technician is testing the visual prosthesis; creating a video configuration file based upon results of testing the visual prosthesis; controlling a brightness map for an individual electrode or electrode groups based on the video configuration file; controlling a temporal stimulation pattern to which an individual electrode or electrode groups are assigned base on the video configuration file; and controlling the spatial mapping based on the video configuration file.
