Abstract
The present invention relates to a closed loop computer brain interface device for an individual comprising a receiver module configured to obtain at least one sensor signal indicative of a movement or action of the individual, a processing module operably connected to the receiver module and configured to determine at least one neuronal feedback signal based at least in part on the obtained sensor signal and a transmitter module operably connected to the processing module and configured to transmit the determined neuronal feedback signal to a neurostimulation device of the individual or a neurostimulation module operably connected to the processing module, wherein the neuronal feedback signal is configured to elicit a sensory percept in the cortex of the individual via stimulating afferent sensory axons of the central nervous system targeting sensory neurons of the cortex of the individual and wherein the elicited sensory percept indicates movement support information related to the obtained sensor signal to support the execution of the movement or action of the individual.The present invention further relates to a computer program comprising instructions for implementing a closed…
