    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Medicine

    Background:

    • Spinal cord injury (SCI) often results in loss of motor control and sensation.
    • Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a potential solution for restoring grasping function via robotic prostheses.
    • Current BCIs typically lack sensory feedback, limiting intuitive control and grasp force modulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if a bidirectional BCI, incorporating sensory feedback, enhances grasp force control compared to a visual-feedback-only BCI.
    • To determine the efficacy of intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in the somatosensory cortex for providing grasp force percepts.

    Main Methods:

    • A bidirectional BCI system was developed, integrating robotic arm control with ICMS for sensory feedback.
    • Participants performed a force matching task to evaluate grasp force control accuracy.
    • Performance was compared between a BCI with visual feedback alone and a BCI with both visual and ICMS feedback.

    Main Results:

    • The bidirectional BCI with ICMS feedback demonstrated improved grasp force accuracy during the force matching task.
    • Participants using ICMS feedback exhibited reduced error in applied grasp force compared to those relying solely on visual cues.
    • This suggests that restored somatosensory percepts enhance motor control precision.

    Conclusions:

    • Bidirectional BCIs incorporating ICMS-based sensory feedback can significantly improve grasp force control accuracy after SCI.
    • Restoring tactile sensation via ICMS is a promising strategy for enhancing the functionality and intuitiveness of BCIs for prosthetic limb control.
    • This approach holds potential for improving the quality of life for individuals with paralysis by enabling more naturalistic object manipulation.
