Encouraging Research Finds Brain Adjusts to 'Third Thumb'

2021-05-25 18:05:04| TechNewsWorld

Researchers at the University College London are giving new meaning to the expression "all thumbs." They've taken an award-winning graduate project from the Royal College of Art in London and are using it to test the brain's reaction to coping with additional body parts. The idea behind the project was to reframe traditional views of prosthetics through the use of a robotic thumb that can be attached to a hand.
