Abstract

This chapter discusses the architecture of the cerebellar cortex, which represents a substrate that can be exploited for controlling skilled movements by a multi-electrode device. The idea may seem futuristic to some, hence, it is buoyed by a number of factors. A multi-electrode stimulation device interfaced to the cerebellum for modulating movement taps into the natural function of the cerebellum to modulate ongoing voluntary movement. Multi-neuron stimulation of visual cortex or the dorsal cochlear nucleus provides vision and audition to peripherally deafferented patients. Combinations of synchronous activation of olivocerebellar clusters provide inertial breaks and asynchronous fast activations to maintain or fine tune position that has to be utilized.
