Intracortical microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex

SN Flesher, JL Collinger, ST Foldes… - Science translational …, 2016 - science.org
Intracortical microstimulation of the somatosensory cortex offers the potential for creating a
sensory neuroprosthesis to restore tactile sensation. Whereas animal studies have suggested …

A brain-computer interface that evokes tactile sensations improves robotic arm control

SN Flesher, JE Downey, JM Weiss, CL Hughes… - Science, 2021 - science.org
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia
to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because …

Restored tactile sensation improves neuroprosthetic arm control

SN Flesher, JE Downey, JM Weiss, CL Hughes… - BioRxiv, 2019 - biorxiv.org
paragraph The sense of touch is critical for skillful hand control 1 – 3 , but is largely missing
for people who use prosthetic devices. Instead, prosthesis users rely heavily on visual …

Home use of a percutaneous wireless intracortical brain-computer interface by individuals with tetraplegia

…, T Hosman, J Saab, SN Flesher… - IEEE Transactions …, 2021 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Objective. Individuals with neurological disease or injury such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis,
spinal cord injury or stroke may become tetraplegic, unable to speak or even locked-in. …

Perception of microstimulation frequency in human somatosensory cortex

CL Hughes, SN Flesher, JM Weiss, M Boninger… - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Microstimulation in the somatosensory cortex can evoke artificial tactile percepts and can be
incorporated into bidirectional brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) to restore function after …

Neural stimulation and recording performance in human sensorimotor cortex over 1500 days

CL Hughes, SN Flesher, JM Weiss… - Journal of Neural …, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Objective. Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in somatosensory cortex can restore
sensation to people with spinal cord injury. However, the recording quality from implanted …

Artifact-free recordings in human bidirectional brain–computer interfaces

JM Weiss, SN Flesher, R Franklin… - Journal of Neural …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
Objective. Intracortical microstimulation has shown promise as a means of evoking
somatosensory percepts as part of a bidirectional brain–computer interface (BCI). However, …

[HTML][HTML] Implicit grasp force representation in human motor cortical recordings

JE Downey, JM Weiss, SN Flesher… - Frontiers in …, 2018 - frontiersin.org
In order for brain-computer interface (BCI) systems to maximize functionality, users will need
to be able to accurately modulate grasp force to avoid dropping heavy objects while also …

Structural analysis of explanted microelectrode arrays

PJ Gilgunn, XC Ong, SN Flesher… - 2013 6th …, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Structural analysis of explanted and Utah microelectrode arrays (MEA) was performed using
scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to …

Neural stimulation and recording performance in human somatosensory cortex over 1500 days

CL Hughes, SN Flesher, JM Weiss, JE Downey… - MedRxiv, 2020 - medrxiv.org
Objective Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in somatosensory cortex can restore sensation
to people who have lost it due to spinal cord injury or other conditions. One potential …
