If you're interested in what we're doing at Cortical Bionics Research Group to improve brain-controlled neuroprosthetic hands and arms, I'll be presenting some of our work on a Blackrock Neurotech webinar tomorrow at 11 CT: attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/11965…

ICMS to human S1 evokes touch sensations experienced over a spatially restricted patch of skin. We take a deep dive into the size, distribution, reliability, and neural determinants of these so-called projected fields. Charles M.

Charles Greenspon and his team have shown that biomimetic microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex can create reliable touch sensations for bionic hand control. Their project is selected as one of the 12 final nominees of the BCI Award 2023. 🧠 youtu.be/L-jAjemkLes

Our paper on S1-M1 connectivity in closed-loop intracortical BCI is out today. You can see the summary from last year below. This was a big effort from the Cortical Bionics Research Group team including 3 dedicated study participants and a many researchers. nature.com/articles/s4146…
