Nature Reviews Bioengineering, Published online: 01 June 2026; doi:10.1038/s44222-026-00449-zCortical sensory prostheses aim to restore vision and touch by stimulating primary visual and somatosensory cortices. This Review examines shared challenges and principles underlying visual and somatosensory restoration, comparing encoding strategies, technical and clinical requirements, and emerging approaches that advance high-fidelity, functional percepts across both modalities.
