Principles of neural ensemble physiology underlying the operation of brain–machine interfaces (2009, background): “Although there is no definitive answer to this question, it is interesting to note that people who were exposed to chronic patterned cutaneous stimulation, as an artificial replacement strategy for vision, learned to use such artificial sensory input to guide their movements and reported the develop”
Control strategies for active lower extremity prosthetics and orthotics: a review (2015, neutral): “While it is possible to restore locomotive functionality without this information, artificial sensory feedback is necessary for the seamless integration of the P/O with the impaired sensory-motor system [81].”
A Generalist Agent (2022, methodology): “Sensory substitution provides another argument for a single model (Bach-y Rita & Kercel, 2003).”
Artificial Intelligence Meets Flexible Sensors: Emerging Smart Flexible Sensing Systems Driven by Machine Learning and Artificial Synapses (2023, background): “For example, intelligent robots integrated with artificial auditory systems can generate high-complex communication capabilities by locating and tracking sounds, such as simultaneous sound source separation and speech recognition [197].”
How the brain might work: a hierarchical and temporal model for learning and recognition (2008, background): “Sensory substitution studies where the impression of visual patterns on to the somatosensory modality gives rise to visual perception also lends support to the existence of a common cortical algorithm [3, 2].”
Tactile brush: drawing on skin with a tactile grid display (2011, background): “More recently, electrical stimulation on the tongue has been used [3].”
Mediated social touch: a review of current research and future directions (2006, background): “As the human skin does not contain specific receptors for electrotactile stimuli [12], electrotactile actuators provide sensations ranging from wetness, vibration, an itch, a tingle, or even pain [18,19].”
Substitution of human olfaction by the trigeminal system (2025, unknown): “Sensory substitution involves using a functional sensory channel to transmit information about another sensory channel that is defective ( 29 – 31 ).”
