Intracortical microstimulation in humans is safe and efficacious for up to 10 years.

Nature Reviews Bioengineering - Cortical sensory prostheses aim to restore vision and touch by stimulating primary visual and somatosensory cortices. This Review examines shared challenges and...

The neural signature of rhythm and tempo remains difficult to study in both humans and non-human primates. Here we recorded from the motor cortex of human participants implanted with intracortical mic...

Background Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of somatosensory cortex can restore a sense of touch to people with spinal cord injury (SCI). In this early-feasibility clinical trial, we evaluate the...

In this study, three individuals with tetraplegia designed vivid, reliable and object-appropriate sensations with a variety of tactile characteristics using self-selected stimulus parameters that stim...

A Swedish study aims to restore their ability to feel and handle objects — and gain independence

Overlapping projected fields from multiple intracortical electrodes produce sensations on the hand that are more easily localizable, as shown in three participants with cervical spinal cord injury.

An analysis of the localization and intensity of intracortical microstimulation in three participants with cervical spinal cord injury shows that overlapping projected fields from multiple electrodes ...

Through brain implants, neural interfaces and skin grafts, researchers are starting to restore sensation for paralysed or amputated limbs.

Here the authors record the responses evoked in the hand and arm representations of M1 during intracortical microstimulation in the hand representation of S1, and show somatotopically organized connec...
