(a) Sensorized artificial finger and tactile stimulation platform. (b) Tactile stimuli that were used in the three-alternative forced-choice (3AFC) psychophysical protocol and the raster plot of …
(a) MEMS sensor with 4 transducing piezoresistors implanted at the base of a cross-shaped structure (sensor piezoresistive outputs Sx+ and Sx- are represented in blue and in green, respectively), …
Each column reports results of the analyses on individual subject basis. (a) Each panel displays the confusion matrix of behavioral responses relative to the four intact subjects with …
(a) Grand average event related potentials (ERPs) of all subjects (n = 4) for both substitutive neuromorphic electrical (red) and natural mechanical tactile (blue) stimulation, ranging from -1500 to …
The horizontal black bar indicates the time window (210–240 ms) when the evoked potential reached significance compared with the prestimulus voltage (2 Standard Deviations from the mean prestimulus …
(a) Butterfly plot of SEPs for all 64 channels of one subject (M4). All traces are aligned to the electrical stimulus delivery. On top, the topographic representation of amplitude distribution at …
(a) Implementation for the TIME electrode. (b) Implementation for the microneedle. (c) Different locations for stimulating active site and tip, that were used in the model to compare the TIME …
(a,b), Recruitment curves of sensory axon populations resulting from different positions of the active sites for the needle microstimulation and TIME stimulation (mean +/- S.E.M. of percentage of …
(a) Recruitment results obtained for placement of the microneedle tip (insulated and non-insulated tip) and the TIME active site (L4 and R4) within the fascicle of interest. The recruitment curves …
(a) Confusion matrix of the responses given by DAS subject. (b) Vertical bars display the correct responses, which are associated with each stimulus. The vertical solid lines over each bar indicate …
In all panels the spatial structure (scale: 2 mm) of the grating is superimposed over a sample temporal pattern (scale: 200 ms) of the spike train that was obtained as a result of transduction with …
The depicted spatial modulations have the same monotonic trend versus the period of grating. The spatial modulation of our spike trains is globally higher in comparison with the neurophysiological …
Induced tactile sensations are classified as in a recent review (Saal and Bensmaia, 2015).
The video includes an interview with DAS amputee subject reporting the percepts immediately after one experimental session.
