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.

Our paper is out in Science Advances!
What makes primate hands so dexterous?
We show that evolutionarily distinct spinal and cortical pathways work together to balance stability and flexibility, supporting remarkable primate hand control.

Primate dexterous hand movements are controlled by functionally distinct premotoneuronal systems
Distinct spinal and cortical pathways coordinate muscle synergies and fine control to support primate dexterous hand movements.

Looking forward to contributing a workshop at this year’s International Women’s Day at Radboud 💜

In “Caring, coping, and carrying on?” we will explore what constant caring does to the brain, and how resilience is learned, and sometimes stretched too far.
Join us on Tuesday, 10 March 2026 (12:30–17:00) at Chapel Berchmanianum to celebrate International Women’s Day ✨

An afternoon of inspiration & connection:
• Keynote on resilience & agency
• Theatre performance
• Interactive workshops (EN/NL)
• Networking drinks
