Claim One:
1. A method of brightness fitting for a visual prosthesis comprising: a. providing an external video processor and an implantable visual neural stimulator including an array of electrodes suitable to contact visual neural tissue; b. testing the implanted visual neural stimulator to verify function and matching to the external video processor; c. activating a prompt; d. activating a signal at a level on a selected electrode within a subset of the array of electrodes; e. receiving a response from a subject indicating a visual perception; f. recording the response; g. repeating the steps b through e for each electrode in the subset; h. determining if a predetermined minimum of electrodes in the subset elicited responses; and i. repeating steps b through e on simultaneous groups of electrodes if the predetermined minimum of electrodes did not elicit a response.
