Conveying tactile object characteristics through customized intracortical microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex
Abstract Microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex can evoke tactile 8x4.25 percepts in people with spinal cord injury, providing a means to restore touch.While location and intensity can be reliably conveyed, two issues that prevent creating more complex naturalistic sensations are a lack of methods to effectively scan the large stimulus parame
