autoevolution 24 May 2021, 12:31 UTC · by 5 photos A thorough research carried out by the University College London (UCL) in collaboration with Dani Clode Design, wanted to see if our brain can support body augmentation using a robotic finger. That’s where the Third Thumb came in. The Third Thumb is a flexible 3D-printed thumb extension that is controlled wirelessly via two pressure-sensitive sensors attached to the big toes. It was created by the designer Dani Clode and now used by scientists at the UCL to find out how body augmentation is perceived by the human brain. Researchers t...
A new research has shown that the human brain can adapt to body augmentation much faster than expected. The study conducted by University College London (UCL) and the University of Oxford researchers attached an artificial robotic thumb to the hands of the participants who were able to perform functions with it in a matter of days.
