}A new method of non-invasiv e prosthetic devices for sensory impaire d people is proposed. These prosthetic devices are based on the transformation o f inaccessible stimulus to impaired sensor y modalities. Blind people would receiv e information about the visual world through their auditory senses and deaf people woul d receive information about the auditory world through their visual senses . (At the end of the article are brief note s addressing the needs of blind-dea f individuals and…

A Robust Encoding Scheme for Delivering Artificial Sensory Information via Direct Brain Stimulation
- Computer ScienceIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering

The first comprehensive measurement of the resolution of key stimulation parameters such as pulse amplitude, pulse width, frequency, train interval and number of pulses is reported, finding the charge-per-phase of each pulse yields the highest resolution sensory signal, and is the key parameter modulating perceived intensity.

The brain’s functions are not physical or chemical but cybernetic, and the theoretical framework for its functions is computer science, a discipline that has had much less time to mature than physics and chemistry and consequently is less well developed.
