Neural stimulation using injected electrical charge is widely used both in functional
therapies and as an experimental tool for neuroscience applications. Electrical pulses can …

We have witnessed a rapid development of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) linking the
brain to external devices. BCIs can be utilized to treat neurological conditions and even to …

Noise, traditionally defined as an unwanted signal or disturbance, has been shown to play
an important constructive role in many information processing systems and algorithms. This …

The stochastic resonance (SR) is a phenomenon in which adding a moderate amount of
noise can improve the signal-to-noise ratio and performance of non-linear systems. SR …

Conventionally, the practice of neurosurgery has been characterized by the removal of
pathology, congenital or acquired. The emerging complement to the removal of pathology is …

Objective. Electrical stimulation of cortical tissue could be used to deliver sensory
information as part of a neuroprosthetic device, but current control of the location, resolution …

Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) can produce
percepts that mimic somatic sensation and, thus, has potential as an approach to sensorize …

Tactile sensation is one of our primary means to collect information about the nearby
environment and thus crucial for daily activities and survival. Therefore, it is of high …

Understanding cortical organization is key to understanding brain function. Distinct neural
networks underlie the functional organization of the cerebral cortex; however, little is known …

Optostimulation and electrical microstimulation are well-established techniques that enable
to artificially stimulate the brain. While the activation patterns evoked by microstimulation in …
