Intracortical bipolar stimulation allows selective activation of neuronal populations in the cortex #BCI

Intracortical bipolar stimulation allows selective activation of neuronal populations in the cortex
Background Intracortical electrical stimulation has emerged as a promising approach for sensory restoration, such as a cortical visual prosthesis, yet its effectiveness is limited by current spread and electrode density constraints. Objective To determine whether intracortical bipolar current steering—via modulation of the return electrode position—can enhance neural activation selectivity compared to traditional monopolar stimulation, with the aim of improving spatial precision in sensory…
