A brain-machine interface instructed by direct intracortical microstimulation [PDF]
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) establish direct communications between the brain and artificial actuators. As such, they hold considerable promise for restoring mobility and communication in patients suffering from severe body paralysis. To achieve this

Neural Modulation of the Primary Auditory Cortex by Intracortical Microstimulation with a Bio-Inspired Electronic System. [PDF]
Nowadays, the majority of the progress in the development of implantable neuroprostheses has been achieved by improving the knowledge of brain functions so as to restore sensorial impairments.

Subthreshold intracortical microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex enhances tactile sensitivity. [PDF]
Background: Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the somatosensory cortex activates neurons around the stimulating electrodes and can elicit tactile sensations. Objective: It is not clear how the direct activation of cortical neurons influences their

Intracortical microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex induces natural perceptual biases. [PDF]
Time-order error, a psychophysical phenomenon in which the duration in between successive stimuli alters perception, has been studied for decades by neuroscientists and psychologists. To date, however, the locus of these effects is unknown.

High density nanowire electrodes for intracortical microstimulation [PDF]
High-density electrodes with the nano feature size greatly enhance resolution and specificity during intracortical microstimulation. In this viewpoint, we fabricated and developed high-density nanowire (NW) electrodes, ~ 2.45×109 / cm2 that could directly stimulate specific region of the cortex with low current amplitude in the range of 120-180 μA. The

Reducing Behavioral Detection Thresholds per Electrode via Synchronous, Spatially-Dependent Intracortical Microstimulation. [PDF]
Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) has shown promise in restoring quality of life to patients suffering from paralysis, specifically when used in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).

Layer-specific parameters of intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex. [PDF]
Abstract Objective . Intracortical microstimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has shown great progress in restoring touch sensations to patients with paralysis. Stimulation parameters such as amplitude, phase duration, and frequency can influence the quality of the evoked percept

Equalization for intracortical microstimulation artifact reduction [PDF]
We present a method for decreasing the duration of artifacts present during intra-cortical microstimulation (ICMS) recordings by using techniques developed for digital communications. We replace the traditional monophasic or biphasic current stimulation pulse with a patterned pulse stream produced by a Zero Forcing Equalizer (ZFE) filter after ...
