چکیده
|
The tongue display unit (tdu) is a 144-channel programmable pulse generator that delivers dc-balanced voltage pulses suitable for electrotactile (electrocutaneous) stimulation of the anteriordorsal tongue, through a matrix of surface electrodes. this article reviews the theory of operation and a design overview of the tdu, as well as selected applications. these include sensory substitution, tactile information display and neurorehabilitation via induced neuroplasticity.
