BREAKING THE WALL OF BLINDNESS: HOW NEUROENGINEERING CAN RELINK BRAIN AND BODY
This 2010 Falling Walls video lecture features Professor Yael Hanein, who is "on her way to building a nanotechnology model of the human brain that could reveal the essence of thought processes" (Tel Aviv University). Hanein's research focuses on the restoration of vision affected by retinal degeneration. Named Outstanding Young Scientist at Summer Davos of the InterAcademy Panel/World Economic Forum in 2009, Hanein is not only the vice president at Nano Retina, an Israeli start-up company developing a retinal implant, but she also codirects the Tel Aviv University nano- and micro-central characterization and fabrication facility, servicing over 30 Tel Aviv University research groups and over 20 companies. Her work "may give sight to blind eyes merging retinal nerves with electrodes to stimulate cell growth" (ScienceDaily).
