New device to help the blind see

    To see a vivid and colourful world may not a too far away dream for those who are blind! A new device can let patients of blindness even without eyes see again but with the brain. Portugal Scienctists made a medical miracle! A US lady named Robertson who lost both of her eyes in a tragical car accident is luckily enough to be the 16th person in the world to be treated and implanted special elctrodes in her brain. Thanks to the assistance of a device, she can see again.
    A camera on the tip of Robertson's glasses sends signals to a computer that's strapped around her waist. The computer then stimulates electrodes in the brain through a cord that attaches to the head. Patients see flashes of light and outlines of objects.
