Check out @giacomo_valle's summary of our new paper showing the details that we can convey to BCI users through spatio-temporally patterned stimulation in somatosensory cortex. This is a great step towards restoring natural sensation from future prosthetic hands.

Our group has a new paper out now in Nature BME, led by Charles Greenspon. It covers a number of updates on how we can restore tactile sensation from the hand using intracortical microstimulation (ICMS).

These interactions allowed us to improve the ability of participants to both locate which finger an object was contacting as well as how much force was being applied to it.
ALT Figure showing how the above findings improve the utility of sensors on a robotic hand by increasing sensation clarity on the fingers and enabling detection of object softness when grasping.

This was a big team effort by the labs, and especially the study participants, across three universities (@UChicago, @UPMC, and @cwru). These results are a big step forward for using ICMS to restore tactile sensations post-injury.
