Abstract

This paper mainly focuses on three sections: tactile capture, tactile restoration, and medical potential evaluation. It reviews the research progress of haptic simulation technology in the field of neuroscience, focusing on the mechanisms of tactile capture and restoration based on intracortical microelectrode arrays. Studies have shown that by integrating functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) technologies, the neural pathways and brain functional areas involved in tactile perception can be precisely captured. During tactile restoration, microelectrode arrays demonstrate higher accuracy compared to deep brain stimulation (DBS), especially in tasks requiring fine tactile perception, enabling subjects to experience natural tactile feedback. Furthermore, multimodal stimulation integration in the brain significantly enhances the effectiveness of tactile restoration. This technology has important applications in the rehabilitation of amputees and spinal cord injury patients, as well as in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Future research should focus on improving the design of microelectrode arrays to enhance the precision and naturalness of haptic simulation and explore their integration with artificial intelligence technologies.
