Sensitivity to microstimulation of somatosensory cortex distributed over multiple electrodes

Sensitivity to microstimulation of somatosensory cortex distributed over multiple electrodes

Meaningful and repeatable tactile sensations can be evoked by electrically stimulating primary somatosensory cortex. Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) may thus be a viable approach to restore the sense of touch in individuals who have lost it, for example tetraplegic patients. One of the potenti...
