This session explores computational models, multi-species data, and neurocomputational approaches to optimize intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) for therapy. By integrating insights from preclinical and clinical studies, speakers will address key challenges in enhancing ICMS precision, stability, and safety to improve neural circuit modulation for restoring sensory and motor function.
