His research focuses on designing spatiotemporal patterns of ICMS such that the sensations are both intuitive and informative.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Presentation Overview: <\/strong><br>Pairing intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of somatosensory cortex with bionic limbs is one solution for restoring the sense of touch to those with amputations or spinal cord injuries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To facilitate bionic limb usage, we need to understand the capabilities and limitations of ICMS, including its precision for localization and force feedback. In a multi-site clinical study we study the ability of ICMS to be used to localize and discriminate ICMS-based feedback and find it lacking when individual electrodes are used. To solve this problem, we investigate the use of multi-electrode stimulation and find that the sensations represent the superposition of their components and can be used to deliver more focal sensations across a wider range of intensities. Finally, we invert this paradigm and show that careful electrode selection can be used to evoke specific shape or movement percepts across the skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-style:normal;font-weight:100\">The research publications listed on this website include studies conducted by independent academic researchers utilizing&nbsp;Blackrock Neurotech&nbsp;devices.
