About
Elizaveta V. Okorokova is a leading researcher in the field of neuroprosthetics and somatosensory neuroscience, whose work focuses on restoring tactile perception through brain-computer interfaces. Her key research areas include cortical microstimulation, sensory feedback for prosthetic limbs, and the neural encoding of touch. Okorokova’s most impactful contribution is her pioneering study on the tessellation of artificial touch via microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex (2023, 22 citations), which demonstrated how precise patterns of electrical stimulation can evoke localized, naturalistic tactile sensations—enabling users to perceive contact points on a prosthetic hand as if they were their own. This work has profound implications for restoring fine motor control and object manipulation in individuals with paralysis or limb loss. By mapping how the brain represents touch location, Okorokova has helped bridge the gap between artificial sensors and neural perception. Her research has been recognized for its translational potential, earning her a reputation as a rising star in neural engineering. With a growing citation record and a focus on clinically relevant solutions, Okorokova continues to shape the future of sensory neuroprosthetics.
