BrainPort ni tekinoroji aho amakuru yunvikana ashobora koherezwa mubwonko bwa muntu binyuze muri electrode array yicaye kururimi. [1] Byabanje gukorwa na Paul Bach-y-Rita mu rwego rwo gufasha abantu kumva neza, cyane cyane abahohotewe . Bach-y-Rita yashinze Wicab mu 1998. [2] [3] [4]
Yateguwe kandi kugirango ikoreshwe nkimfashanyo igaragara, yerekana ubushobozi bwayo bwo kwemerera impumyi kubona ibimukikije muburyo bwa polygonal na pigiseli. Muri iki gihe, kamera ifata ishusho yikikikije, amakuru atunganywa na chip ihindura imbaraga zoherejwe binyuze mumashanyarazi ya elegitoronike, ukoresheje ururimi, mubwonko bwumuntu. Ubwonko bwumuntu burashobora gusobanura izo mbaraga nkibimenyetso biboneka hanyuma bigahita byerekanwa kuri cortex igaragara, bigatuma umuntu "abona." Ibi birasa mubice byukuntu cochlear yatewe ikora, muburyo yohereza amashanyarazi kumashanyarazi yakira mumubiri. [5] [6]
