Systems and methods for delivering sensory feedback to the cortex via electrical stimulation are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the system includes: an implant electrically coupled to a brain, a spinal cord or peripheral nerves of the user through implant electrodes. The implant is configured to deliver electrical stimulus through the implant electrodes. The system also includes a computing device that performs actions including: delivering the electrical stimulus via the implant electrodes; and generating neural signals that are evoked by the electrical stimulus. The neural signals correspond to information transferred to the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves through the implant electrodes. The electrical stimulus is encoded as a combination of at least two parameters selected from a group of parameters consisting of a frequency, a pulse-width, an amplitude, a number of pulses in a train, and a train interval.
