Intraneural microstimulation (INMS) was developed independently by Torebjörk and Ochoa [20] and by Vallbo [23]. As pioneers, we often wonder whether the awesome yield of the method, as applied to discern subjective attributes of pure evoked sensations in human subjects, has been a mirage. Cultural nihilism resists the proposition that certain single sensory units from skin of the human hand may normally be able to evoke a conscious sensation endowed with specific and consistent subjective quality, measurable magnitude, and chartable location. But, of course, depending on the physical circumstances prevailing in the neighborhood of a given intraneural site, an electrode tip can regularly record anywhere from between zero and multiple nerve fibers, and usually a few. And why not even record one single fiber in focus? The usual situation in which zero to multiple fibers are recordable from the same intra-neural microelectrode site, certainly does not negate that it may be possible also to microstimulate zero, a few, or the whole fiber content of a fascicle at stimulus intensity is gradually increased. And why not even stimulate one single fiber? Indeed, it is more plausible to accept viability of single fiber stimulation than mandatory multi-fiber stimulation at stimulus intensity at threshold for the first detectable sensation. Therefore, after the test of time, we do believe it is possible to excite single sensory nerve fibers through intra-neural microstimulation in humans [10, 15, 17, 18]. Nobody does intraneural microstimulation (INMS) these days. It is extremely demanding.
