The restoration of cutaneous sensation to fingers and fingertips is critical to achieving dexterous prosthesis control for individuals with sensorimotor dysfunction. However, localized and reproducible fingertip sensations in humans have not been reported via intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in humans. Here, we show that ICMS in a human participant was capable of eliciting percepts in 7 fingers spanning both hands, including 6 fingertip regions (i.e., 3 on each hand). Median percept size
