Enhancing Nervous System Recovery through Neurobiologics, Neural Interface Training, and Neurorehabilitation. [PDF]
After an initial period of recovery, human neurological injury has long been thought to be static. In order to improve quality of life for those suffering from stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury, researchers have been working to ...

Perception of microstimulation frequency in human somatosensory cortex
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.

Monosynaptic pathway from rat vibrissa motor cortex to facial motor neurons revealed by lentivirus-based axonal tracing [PDF]
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

Biomimetic rehabilitation engineering: the importance of somatosensory feedback for brain-machine interfaces. [PDF]
Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) re-establish communication channels between the nervous system and an external device. The use of BMI technology has generated significant developments in rehabilitative medicine, promising new ways to restore lost sensory-

Characterizing Evoked Movement Patterns and Connectivity in Sensorimotor Cortex After Sensory Loss in Squirrel Monkeys. [PDF]
Excitability to long‐train intracortical microstimulation in the primary somatosensory cortex after recovery from long‐term sensory loss tended to be altered but was not statistically different from that of normal and intact hemispheres. Cortical connection patterns of areas 3b and M1 were consistent with early findings, characterized by the presence ...

Utility and lower limits of frequency detection in surface electrode stimulation for somatosensory brain-computer interface in humans [PDF]
Objective: Stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has been successful in evoking artificial somatosensation in both humans and animals, but much is unknown about the optimal stimulation parameters needed to generate robust percepts of ...

In vivo measurements with robust silicon-based multielectrode arrays with extreme shaft lengths [PDF]
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 ...

A cognitive neuroprosthetic that uses cortical stimulation for somatosensory feedback [PDF]
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.
