Can humans use artificial limbs for body augmentation as flexibly as their own hands?
🚨 Our new interdisciplinary study put this question to the test with the Third Thumb (@daniclode.bsky.social), a robotic extra digit you control with your toes!

Great video by @wired.com showcasing the Third Thumb! 👍👍👍We're super grateful to be able to work with the amazing Dani Clode and investigate how our brains 🧠 accomodate motor control of an extra robotic finger! The segment on the Third Thumb starts at 6:02 - you can watch here: rb.gy/t8gdhs

Very interesting paper on a potential role for proprioceptors in sensing muscle acidosis and driving the perception of soreness.
"Sng" is a Taiwanese word for both sour taste and muscle soreness. It also imitates the natural vocalization of humans feeling sore.

A role for proprioceptors in sngception
Proprioceptors mediate acidosis sensation that contributes to acid-induced pain chronicity.

First time at an event like this talks, hackathons, networking all in one. TMS40 was incredibly open: sharing experiences, concerns, even failures. You could feel how much people care about pushing TMS forward to build better standards.
Excited for what’s next. @tmsmultilab.bsky.social

Very proud to share a new review (more like a long perspective), just out in Science Advances: rebrand.ly/mdbi8q8. Ilana Nisky and Tamar @cambridgeuni.bsky.social joined heads (brains) to reimagine how to make the most out of artificial haptic interfaces. A thread (1/8)
A neurocognitive pathway for engineering artificial touch
Neurocognitive congruence is key to designing artificial touch that best integrates with human perception and action.
