用可微感知模型优化脑机接口电极位置,兼顾视觉恢复效果与血管安全。

Percept-Aware Surgical Planning for Visual Cortical Prostheses with Vascular Avoidance

  • 将电极位置设为可学习参数,通过可微感知模型端到端优化
  • 在真实皮层结构上提升图像重建精度,同时避免血管损伤
  • 支持多电极线束协同优化,适合高密度脑机接口设计

皮层视觉假体旨在通过刺激初级视觉皮层(V1)神经元恢复视觉功能。随着高密度柔性神经接口的发展,三维皮层内电极布局成为关键手术规划问题。现有策略侧重视野覆盖和解剖学经验,但未直接优化受安全约束下的预期感知效果。本文提出一种感知感知的手术规划框架,将电极位置建模为解剖空间中的约束优化问题。电极坐标作为可学习参数,通过可微的假体视觉前向模型进行端到端优化,目标是最小化任务级感知误差,并融合血管避让与灰质可行性约束。在基于真实折叠皮层几何(FreeSurfer fsaverage)的模拟阅读与自然图像任务中,感知感知优化相比覆盖率策略显著提升重建保真度。重要的是,血管安全约束有效避免了边界违规,同时保持感知性能。该框架还可实现固定插入预算下多电极线束配置的联合优化。结果表明,可微感知模型可支持基于解剖结构、安全意识强的计算机辅助规划,为下一代视觉假体优化提供基础。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Cortical visual prostheses aim to restore sight by electrically stimulating neurons in early visual cortex (V1). With the emergence of high-density and flexible neural interfaces, electrode placement within three-dimensional cortex has become a critical surgical planning problem. Existing strategies emphasize visual field coverage and anatomical heuristics but do not directly optimize predicted perceptual outcomes under safety constraints. We present a percept-aware framework for surgical planning of cortical visual prostheses that formulates electrode placement as a constrained optimization problem in anatomical space. Electrode coordinates are treated as learnable parameters and optimized end-to-end using a differentiable forward model of prosthetic vision. The objective minimizes task-level perceptual error while incorporating vascular avoidance and gray matter feasibility constraints. Evaluated on simulated reading and natural image tasks using realistic folded cortical geometry (FreeSurfer fsaverage), percept-aware optimization consistently improves reconstruction fidelity relative to coverage-based placement strategies. Importantly, vascular safety constraints eliminate margin violations while preserving perceptual performance. The framework further enables co-optimization of multi-electrode thread configurations under fixed insertion budgets. These results demonstrate how differentiable percept models can inform anatomically grounded, safety-aware computer-assisted planning for cortical neural interfaces and provide a foundation for optimizing next-generation visual prostheses.
