The University of London, established in 1836, is one of the United Kingdom's leading academic institutions, known for its diverse contributions to various fields, including medicine and neuroscience.

A notable figure in the university's history is Prof. Giles Brindley, whose groundbreaking work in visual prosthetics has had a lasting impact on the field. Brindley is best known for developing the first visual prosthesis, a device that directly stimulated the visual cortex to produce basic visual sensations in blind patients. His pioneering research at the University of London laid the foundation for future advancements in neuroprosthetics, influencing the development of technologies that seek to restore vision to those with severe visual impairments.
