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.
1/ New in @ScienceMagazine our study "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex". 🦾 🧠 ⚡

Interesting related perspective by prof. Paul Marasco science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…
Marc Schieber has published his insightful thoughts on the below paper and where it fits in the broader efforts towards dexterous neuroprosthetic hands in Nature BME:

Tune in at 11:00 CT today to learn more about our work restoring sensation through electrical stimulation in the cortex.
Pushing the Limits of ICMS for Tactile Feedback with UC Chicago scientist, Dr. Charles Greenspon, is tomorrow (online). Make sure you register today, it's not a conversation you want to miss.

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.
