Underactuated neurocontrol schema. Most neurostimulation modalities are underactuated, wherein a single stimulation source impinges on orders-of-magnitude greater numbers of neurons. (A) The use of such stimulation has historically been limited to perturbative paradigms, wherein pulse-type inputs are used to create bulk population responses without fine temporal structure. (B) Increasingly, experimentalists seek to induce more precise spiking patterns in specific subsets of the population, which may necessitate the design of nuanced stimulation waveforms.
