Implanted Peripheral Nerve Electrodes Deliver Stimulation Directly to the Nerve

Caption

Electrical stimulation was delivered by an external stimulator (top left) through percutaneous leads to FINEs implanted on the median, ulnar, and radial nerves of an upper-limb amputee (bottom left). Each electrode contact evokes sensory percepts on small regions of the missing hand of the subject.
