Intracortical microstimulation evokes diverse electrode-specific phosphenes in the early visual cortex of blind individuals https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.64898/2026.10.05.26364412v1 "Phosphenes ranged from simple dots to elongated, textured, circular, or otherwise idiosyncratic forms." #ICMS #BCI #blindness

(2025) Spatiotemporal properties of cortical excitatory and inhibitory neuron activation by sustained and bursting electrical microstimulation https://www.cell.com/iscience/fulltext/S2589-0042(25)00968-X "Electrodes in visual cortex disrupted circuits, but #ICMS still evoked activity"; #BCI #NeuroTech #neuroscience
"Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of sensory brain regions can create artificial sensations, yet these percepts fade with continued stimulation, suggesting dynamic changes in underlying neural activity."
