Congratulations to @pevianiv.bsky.social on the BRNet ECR Pioneer Award ππ
It has been a pleasure working with Valeria in our lab. A fantastic and well-deserved recognition π
Great time at the Donders Institute Open Day β De Brein Show! π§ β¨
We brought our Exoskeleton demo, where visitors experienced extending the body with extra long fingers.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by, and our team: Floris van Wettum, Eleni Manias, Thomas Kooiman, and Chris VajdΓk π¦Ύ
The human body is remarkably adaptable, capable of integrating artificial enhancements from tools to prosthetic limbs.
Researchers have used finger extensions to test how the brain updates its expectations over time.

New paper led by @pevianiv.bsky.social!
We show maps of a hand-held tool can be built with accuracy comparable to arm. Tool use did not change accuracy but affected precision. This suggests the sensorimotor system can extend body-like representations to tools.

There is evidence that the sensorimotor system builds fine-grained spatial maps of the limbs based on somatosensory signals. Can a hand-held tool be mβ¦
As body-augmenting technologies become more common, it is important to understand how the brain decides what counts as "the body", and how that changes over time.

Just in time for #NCMKobe26, our preprint: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6....
Attaching an exoskeleton leads to rapid perceptual integration; ~20 min of training makes it feel even lighter. See supplement for model details!

Curious how YOUR brain adapts to body augmentations? π§
On 21 March we will be at the Donders Institute Open Day (De Brein Show) in Nijmegen. Our lab @bbt-lab.bsky.social will be part of the demos, where you can try our finger-extending exoskeleton π¦Ύ

Excited to be in Kobe for the Neural Control of Movement conference! π―π΅π§ #NCMKobe26 @ncmsociety.bsky.social
I will be presenting Friday at 10:30 on how finger-extending exoskeletons are integrated into the human sensorimotor system.
Very grateful to be here as an NCM scholarship awardee!
How does the brain adapt to artificial body extensions over time?
With a wearable finger-extension device, we reveal distinct phases of proprioceptive plasticity: during wear, after active use, and even after removal.

Congrats to Dr Valeria Peviani π
A postdoc at the Donders Institute & UKE Hamburg, Valeriaβs work explores how body perception emerged from multisensory signals, combining computational modelling, psychophysics & electrophysiology.
π Well deserved!
