How does the brain integrate artificial body extensions? Using a custom-built finger-extending exoskeleton, we show that wearable augmentations are quickly integrated into body representation, with proprioceptive space adapting to the device’s structure and function.

Felt Presence and Psychosis Risk in the General Population
Abstract. Objective: Felt presence (FP) is the experience that another entity is present in one’s proximal environment, despite no sensory evidence. Occurrence of FP is linked to psychosis risk, but q...

Estrogen modulates reward prediction errors and reinforcement learning - Nature Neuroscience
Dopamine encoding of reward prediction errors naturally fluctuates over females’ reproductive cycles with estrogenic signaling due to reduced expression of dopamine reuptake proteins.
