  "summary": "A new electrical stimulation focused computational model of the visual cortex had been created to aid in the development of cortical visual prosthesis. The model consists of 10,666 biophysical neurons representing 0.13mm3 of a layer 2/3 of the primary visual cortex and was calibrated to match the baseline activity of rat brain recordings. A novel model of electrical stimulation was developed to…",
