Collection route: [[collections/Neurotech|Neurotech]]. - **INF-0017 — Plausible.** A cortical visual prosthesis is a write-side experiment wearing a clinical indication: it must install a percept rather than read one. Whatever resolution it achieves is a direct measurement of how much experience can be authored from outside, which is the core uploading question stated in an approvable form. <!-- END RESEARCH INFERENCES 2026-09-11 -->
