Scientific reports·2018

Researchers developed new multichannel microstimulation protocols for brain-computer interfaces. Owl monkeys learned to interpret complex electrical signals in the somatosensory cortex, paving the way for advanced neuroprosthetics.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Sensory Prosthetics

Background:

  • Electrical microstimulation can be used to create artificial sensory channels in the brain.
  • Developing effective microstimulation protocols for multiple electrodes is crucial for neuroprosthetic devices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of spatiotemporal patterns of cortical microstimulation for guiding behavior.
  • To determine if multichannel microstimulation can convey complex sensory information.

Main Methods:

  • Owl monkeys were trained to perform reaching movements guided by microstimulation patterns delivered to the primary somatosensory cortex via chronic multielectrode arrays.
  • The monkeys' ability to learn and adapt to new microstimulation patterns and behavioral rules was assessed over several months.

Main Results:

  • Monkeys successfully learned to discriminate complex microstimulation patterns.
  • Performance improved over time, indicating adaptability to new patterns and rules.
  • Information transfer was dependent on the interplay between electrode stimulation patterns and their temporal sequence.

Conclusions:

  • Multichannel microstimulation is a viable method for sensorizing neural prostheses.
  • Spatiotemporal patterns of microstimulation can effectively convey information to the brain.
  • This approach holds promise for developing advanced neuroprosthetic sensory feedback systems.
