4/ Adding temporal patterning to the paradigms, we sequentially delivered ICMS through electrodes, which induced sensations of #movement across their skin. We could also systematically manipulate the #direction and #speed of perceived motion across the skin.

3/ First, we simultaneously delivered spatially-patterned ICMS through electrodes whose projected fields – the patch of skin over which the sensation is experienced – were arranged in a line. Unprompted, the participants reported the sensation of an #edge
