Visual prosthetics aim to restore partial visual function in those who have lost vision to disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa. Similar neuroprosthetics, under development, include visual neuroprosthetics to augment vision loss and motor and cognitive neuroprosthetics to treat paralysis. The success of these neuroprosthetic devices serve to illustrate the life-changing capability of BCI technology. 44 Today, over 180,000 patients have received cochlear implants, and those recipients, many of whom are prelingually deaf, have shown a newfound ability to understand speech without the use of lip reading.

An example of an FDA-approved neuroprosthetic is the cochlear implant for hearing augmentation (ages 2 and over). Neuroprosthetic devices serve to augment or replace a sensory/motor organ in patients who have either lost (i.e., acquired absence) or failed to develop (i.e., congenital absence) certain functions. Project leaders reconvene in Bermuda the following year to affirm these principles at the second International Strategy Meeting on Human Genome Sequencing.Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa MD, in Schmidek and Sweet: Operative Neurosurgical Techniques, 2022 Neuroprosthetics These principles reshape the practices of an entire industry and establish rapid prepublication data release as the norm in genomics and other fields. This contrasts with the standard practice in scientific research of making experimental data available only after its publication. The "Bermuda Principles" are drafted to encourage research and development, and to maximize the Human Genome Project's benefits to society. They decide that all human genomic sequence information should be made freely available and placed in the public domain within 24 hours of being generated by federally funded large-scale human sequencing centers. In February 1996, Human Genome Project leaders meet in Bermuda at the first International Strategy Meeting on Human Genome Sequencing.
