Perception of microstimulation frequency in human somatosensory cortex
eLife, 2021 Microstimulation in the somatosensory cortex can evoke artificial tactile percepts and can be incorporated into bidirectional brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) to restore function after injury or disease.

Optical imaging of cortical networks via intracortical microstimulation.
J Neurophysiol, 2013 Understanding cortical organization is key to understanding brain function. Distinct neural networks underlie the functional organization of the cerebral cortex; however, little is known about how different nodes in the cortical network interact during perceptual processing and motor behavior. To study cortical network function we examined whether the

Monosynaptic pathway from rat vibrissa motor cortex to facial motor neurons revealed by lentivirus-based axonal tracing [PDF]
, 2005 The mammalian motor cortex typically innervates motor neurons indirectly via oligosynaptic pathways. However, evolution of skilled digit movements in humans, apes, and some monkey species is associated with the emergence of abundant monosynaptic cortical

In vivo measurements with robust silicon-based multielectrode arrays with extreme shaft lengths [PDF]
, 2013 In this paper, manufacturing and in vivo testing of extreme-long Si-based neural microelectrode arrays are presented. Probes with different shaft lengths (15–70 mm) are formed by deep reactive ion etching and have been equipped with platinum electrodes ...

Restoring the encoding properties of a stochastic neuron model by an exogenous noise [PDF]
, 2015 Here we evaluate the possibility of improving the encoding properties of an impaired neuronal system by superimposing an exogenous noise to an external electric stimulation signal. The approach is based on the use of mathematical neuron models consisting

A cognitive neuroprosthetic that uses cortical stimulation for somatosensory feedback [PDF]
, 2014 Present day cortical brain–machine interfaces (BMIs) have made impressive advances using decoded brain signals to control extracorporeal devices. Although BMIs are used in a closed-loop fashion, sensory feedback typically is visual only.

Microelectrode array recordings from the ventral roots in chronically implanted cats [PDF]
, 2014 ventral spinal roots contain the axons of spinal motoneurons and provide the only location in the peripheral nervous system where recorded neural activity can be assured to be motor rather than sensory.
