Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for communicating an operational state of a neuronal stimulation apparatus to an individual, comprising: means for determining the operational state of the apparatus; means for transmitting a first neuronal stimulation signal to a neuronal stimulation means of the individual adapted to elicit a sensory percept in the cortex of the individual, wherein the first neuronal stimulation signal is indicative of the operational state of the apparatus. The present invention further relates to a method and computer program comprising the steps of: determining the operational state of the apparatus, transmitting a neuronal stimulation signal to a neuronal stimulation means of the individual adapted to elicit a sensory percept in the cortex of the individual, wherein the first neuronal stimulation signal is indicative of the determined operational state of the apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a closed loop computer brain interface device for an individual comprising a receiver module configured to obtain at least one sensor signal indicative of a movement or action of the individual, a processing module operably connected to the receiver module and configured to determine at least one neuronal feedback signal based at least in part on the obtained sensor signal and a transmitter module operably connected to the processing module and configured to transmit the determined neuronal feedback signal to a neurostimulation device of the individual or a neurostimulation module operably connected to the processing module, wherein the neuronal feedback signal is configured to elicit a sensory percept in the cortex of the individual via stimulating afferent sensory axons of the central nervous system targeting sensory neurons of the cortex of the individual and wherein the elicited sensory percept indicates movement support information related to the obtained sensor signal to

Abstract: Systems and methods for stimulating the sensory cortex of an individual by obtaining a neuronal stimulation signal adapted to provide a movement cue for the individual and transmitting the neuronal stimulation signal to an electric contact of a neuronal stimulation electrode that is already implanted into the brain of the individual for a purpose different from providing the movement cue. Proprioceptive information is communicated to the individual by obtaining information about the body posture of the individual and applying a neuronal stimulation signal to an afferent axon targeting a sensory neuron in the cortex of the individual. The neuronal stimulation signal is determined based on the obtained body posture information and corresponds to the proprioceptive information. A first neuronal stimulation signal providing the movement cue and a second neuronal stimulation signal providing the proprioceptive information may be applied together to the cortex of the individual.
