Neuronal Communication System

A system for stimulating sensory neurons in a cortex of an individual, the system comprising:

• a processor coupled to a digital signal processor and a non-transitory memory, wherein the non-transitory memory stores relations between at least one sensory percept of the individual and at least one corresponding neuronal stimulation signal to be applied to at least one afferent axon targeting the sensory neurons in the cortex of the individual, wherein the at least one afferent axon comprises an afferent sensory axon of a central nervous system of the individual, and wherein the at least one sensory percept is associated with information to be communicated to the individual, and
• wherein the processor is coupled to transmitter circuitry and is configured to transmit at least one neuronal stimulation signal via the transmitter circuitry to at least one neuronal stimulation device configured to induce a sequence of action potentials in the at least one afferent axon corresponding to the at least one transmitted neuronal stimulation signal;
• and
• wherein the at least one transmitted neuronal stimulation signal is adapted to induce said sequence of action potentials in the at least one afferent axon and thereby evoke, in the cortex of the individual, at least one respective sensory percept corresponding to the at least one transmitted neuronal stimulation signal to communicate the information associated with the at least one respective sensory percept to the individual.
