Closed loop computer-brain interface device

Closed loop computer brain interface (CLCBI) device for an individual comprising:

• a receiver module configured to obtain at least one sensor signal indicative of a movement or action of the individual;
• a processing module operably connected to the receiver module and configured to determine at least one neuronal feedback signal based at least in part on the obtained sensor signal;
• and
• wherein the processing module is configured to provide the neuronal feedback signal for use in neurostimulation;
• wherein the neuronal feedback signal is configured to elicit a sensory percept in the cortex of the individual via stimulating afferent sensory axons of the central nervous system targeting sensory neurons of the cortex of the individual;
• and
• wherein the elicited sensory percept indicates movement support information related to the obtained sensor signal to support the execution of the movement or action of the individual.
