Abstract

Restoring sensory functions for limbs and prosthetic devices is essential to bidirectional information communication between devices and the central nervous system of humans. Progress in neural interface technologies has bridged the gap of information deficits and improved the function of neural prostheses. The physiology of sensory information coding, its central processing, and its representation underline the possible ways the sensory nervous system can be accessed. Technical constraints and functional benefits may dominate the tradeoff for selecting interface sites that may require noninvasive to moderately invasive technologies. This chapter reviews the significant advances in sensory neural prosthesis technologies made in past decades. Many neural interface technologies show promise for sensory information feedback, particularly peripheral nerve cuff stimulation.
