Claim 19:
20. A method for communicating an operational state of a neuronal stimulation apparatus to an individual, the method comprising:
determining an operational state of the neuronal stimulation apparatus;
accessing a non-transitory memory medium storing signal parameters of one or more neuronal stimulation signals indicative of one or more operational states of the neuronal stimulation device and retrieving a set of signal parameters based on the determined operational state;
generating, based on the retrieved set of signal parameters, a first neuronal stimulation signal indicative of the determined operational state of the neuronal stimulation apparatus;
transmitting the first neuronal stimulation signal to a neuronal stimulation device of an individual,
wherein the first neuronal stimulation signal is adapted to elicit a specific first sensory percept in a portion of the cortex of the individual that is associated with a specific sensory modality,
wherein the first neuronal stimulation signal is indicative, via the specific first sensory percept, of the determined operational state of the neuronal stimulation apparatus.
