Robotic Thumb Augmentation and Neural Body Representation Changes

Robotic Thumb Augmentation and Neural Body Representation Changes

The robotic thumb by Dani Clode challenges conventional prosthetics, viewing them as extensions rather than replacements. It also brings changes in brain and body integration, demonstrating neural plasticity during control and embodiment of the device.

    There was a research adding sixth finger to human hands. Humans can quickly adapt through trials and errors. Should be online RL without reference. https://t.co/99ol1z7BHc https://t.co/830Fx4hSWs

    The "third thumb" you might have seen on twitter is actuated by pressure sensors under your big toes. Which is a little sad for its general usefulness because I was using my big toes for other stuff. https://t.co/0qGlIfKxTI

Abstract Synopsis

  • The study explored how humans can learn to control a robotic thumb (called the Third Thumb) over five days, improving their motor skills, coordination, and sense of embodiment, even under challenging conditions like high cognitive load or limited vision.
  • Training with the robotic thumb altered the brain's representation of the biological hand, weakening natural hand movement patterns and causing a mild decline in the brain's ability to distinguish the augmented hand's movements, indicating neural plasticity.
  • Despite successful control and increased embodiment, these findings highlight that robotic augmentation can lead to changes in brain and body integration, which are important to consider for future development of augmentation technologies.
