with Technology Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, in collaboration with four other national laboratories, four universities, and Second Sight® Medical Products, has developed the first long-term retinal prosthesis that can function for years inside the harsh biological environment of the eye. The device takes images from an external video camera and sends electric impulses to an array implanted in the eye. These impulses stimulate the retina and enable the brain to perceive patterns of light. In clinical trials, patients with vision loss were able to successfully identify objects, increase mobility, and detect movement using the retinal implant. Further planned developments for the device will enable reading and face recognition. In addition, the technologies used in the retinal implant, to restore sight to the blind, could be expanded to develop devices that increase the functionality of people with spinal cord injuries, deafness and other neurological disorders, the abstract states.

| Livermore-Amador Symphony Concert | |||||||||||||||
|
At the Bankhead Theater
|
Mar 24 Sat |
Livermore-Amador Symphony Wagner: Overture to The Flying Dutchman Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto Laura Hamilton, soloist Dvořák: Symphony No. 6 Laura Hamilton, member of the New York Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and former Livermore resident, comes home to play the Mendelssohn violin concerto. This famous composition ushered violin concerti repertoire into the Romantic era with its lyrical intensity and structural innovations and has long been a standard by which violinists are measured. The evening opens with the raging storm of Richard Wagner’s overture to The Flying Dutchman. Antonin Dvořák’s Symphony No. 6 blends German influences designed to please Viennese audiences with expressions of his own Czech nationalism to produce a mature work which would surely be as well known as his “New World” symphony if it had been tagged with an equally catchy nickname. Laura Hamilton is principal associate concertmaster of the Metropolitan
Opera Orchestra. During her 24-year tenure with the Metropolitan she has led
hundreds of performances and has been concertmaster for live international
high-definition video transmissions of Salome, Carmen, Madama Butterfly, and
Nixon in China. Hamilton was previously a member of the Chicago Symphony and
appeared with that orchestra as concerto soloist with Sir Georg Solti
conducting. During her youth, Hamilton lived in Livermore and studied with
local teachers Marion Clark and Robert Jacobson, and Daniel Kobialka of the
San Francisco Symphony. She performed with LAS in 1976 as a winner of the
Symphony’s Competition for Young Musicians and played the Tchaikovsky violin
concerto with the orchestra in 1983.
