The main advantage of AER in the context of aiding artificial vision for humans is<br />

that events occurring in the scene input to the receiver chip are represented and<br />

propagated as impulses or spikes which is the method used by the fibres of the optic<br />

nerve. The maximum spike rate represents maximum hue intensity when referring to<br />

the RGB true colour format. Note that propagation of signals in the optic nerve is<br />

very energy efficient and it can be expected that the neuromorphic AER<br />

communication protocol will be similar.<br />
