About
Charles M. Greenspon is a leading neuroscientist whose research sits at the intersection of neural engineering and somatosensory perception. His work focuses on restoring tactile feedback for individuals with sensory loss, particularly through the use of intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of the human somatosensory cortex. Greenspon’s major contributions center on understanding how the brain encodes touch, enabling the creation of biomimetic neural interfaces that can deliver artificial sensations. His highly cited 2023 study, “Tessellation of artificial touch via microstimulation of human somatosensory cortex” (22 citations), demonstrated that precise patterns of electrical stimulation can produce localized, naturalistic tactile percepts—a breakthrough for brain-computer interfaces and neuroprosthetics. This work has profound implications for restoring dexterous hand function in paralyzed individuals. Greenspon’s research is characterized by its translational impact, bridging fundamental neuroscience with clinical applications. His findings are shaping next-generation sensory neuroprostheses, offering new hope for patients with spinal cord injury or limb loss.
