The sense of touch is critical to dexterous use of the hands and thus an essential component of efforts to restore hand function after amputation or paralysis. Prosthetic systems have addressed this goal with wearable tactile sensors. However, such wearable sensors are suboptimal for neuroprosthetic systems designed to reanimate a patient's own paralyzed hand.

The sense of touch is critical to dexterous use of the hands and thus an essential component to efforts to restore hand function after amputation or paralysis. Prosthetic systems have focused on wearable tactile sensors. But wearable sensors are suboptimal for neuroprosthetic systems designed to reanimate a patient's own paralyzed hand.

Implantable deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems are utilized for clinical treatment of diseases such as Parkinson's disease and chronic pain. However, long-term efficacy of DBS is limited, and chronic neuroplastic changes and associated therapeutic mechanisms are not well understood. Fundamental and mechanistic investigation, typically accomplished in small animal models, is difficult because of the need for chronic stimulators that currently require either frequent handling of test subjects to charge battery-powered systems or specialized setups to manage tethers that restrict experimental paradigms and compromise insight.
