get signal from eye neurons Hi guys you know some scientists could get electronic signals from brain and move it to muscles (full article here)

My question is: can we get signal from eye neurons and analyze it with a computer and after that see what he/she/it is seeing?

If somebody did this research will you please give me an article about that?
A lot of people study the neural code of the retina. The output from retina are the retinal ganglion neurons (RGC). Their input-output relation and circuits are well modeled (but not fully understood).

Usual preparation is to put retina harvested from an animal on an electrode array and record their responses to movies. See references below:
