The present invention is an improved method of electrically stimulating percepts in a patient with a visual prosthesis, to induce the perception of color. In particular, the present invention is a method of inducing the perception of color by determining experimentally which patterns induce which colors, storing that information and using the stored information to induce the perception of color according to video input data and the stored color information.

Method and apparatus for inducing the perception of color in a visual prosthesis

It is critical in an inductively link medical implant, such as a visual prosthesis or other neural stimulator, to adjust the external coil to a location to maximize communication between the external coil and internal coil. Converting the signal strength between the coils to a signal easily discernible by a clinician, preferably an audible tone, facilitates the adjustment of the external coil to a preferred location.
