Abstract

A current challenge for neuroscience is the development of new brain machine interfaces for various neurological diseases and sensory restoration requiring a high spatiotemporal resolution. In the case of visual restoration at the cortical level, visual prostheses generating direct cortical stimulations have proved able to elicit some form vision in blind patients but only for few months. Penetrating electrodes were found to require smaller currents for a higher spatial resolution but at the cost of invasiveness. Ultrasound (US) waves are well known for imaging purposes but can also be used to modulate neural activity. However, they suffer from a major drawback: higher spatial resolution requires greater acoustic intensity and causes potent...
