About
Patrick M. Jordan is a leading neuroscientist whose research focuses on the neural mechanisms of touch and the development of neuroprosthetic devices that restore tactile sensation. His most influential work centers on the somatosensory cortex and how artificial sensory feedback can be delivered through brain stimulation. In his landmark 2023 paper, "Tessellation of artificial touch via microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex," Jordan demonstrated that microstimulation of the brain can create precise, localized tactile percepts, effectively mapping artificial touch sensations onto the hand. This breakthrough, which has already garnered 22 citations, provides a foundational framework for creating more natural and intuitive sensory feedback in brain-computer interfaces. By showing that these sensations can be "tessellated" into a coherent map of touch, Jordan’s work has profound implications for restoring the sense of contact location in individuals with paralysis or limb loss. His research bridges fundamental neuroscience and clinical application, offering a pathway toward advanced neuroprosthetics that can restore a rich, spatially-aware sense of touch.
