Stimulation Paradigm Development
What's driving us to innovate stimulation paradigms?
Peripheral Nerve Stimulation (PNS) is limited in its ability to elicit natural sensations - theorized to stem from limitations of selectivity and mismatches between native and generated neural features.
​​
Temporally patterned PNS offers a means to better replicate native neural features and elicit more natural or additional sensory qualities such as movement across the skin. Here at the Graczyk Lab, we employ modeling methods to develop novel stimulation paradigms as well as evaluate them in clinical populations to quantify their impact on sensation and motor systems.
We are currently studying the impact of novel stimulation paradigms on tactile and proprioceptive sensation as well as motor recruitment. However, these paradigms may have applications in pain and autonomic therapies.
