1/ 🚀 Can you train to use an extra robotic arm (XRA) and generalize that skill to different environments?
Our new study with @SolaimanShokur, Daniel Leal Pinheiro et al: https://t.co/U8ut6thsQz
explores whether training with an XRA leads to true skill generalization.
We have an open post-doc position to work on an exciting international project (with @_smicera, @SolaimanShokur & Prof. Boari Coelho) on freezing of gait in Parkinson's disease and develop a new non-invasive temporal interference strategy to alleviate these symptoms.

Avec cette main bionique, les personnes amputées comme Fabrizio peuvent ressentir la température et distinguer le contact humain du contact artificiel. Non invasive et révolutionnaire, cette technologie marque une avancée significative dans les prothèses. https://t.co/tRMVRUs0E4
How do you know if something is wet/dry? Humans have no dedicated sensor for humidity. Instead, we rely -mainly- on thermal cues.
Do the test: sit on a cold bench, your first reaction is: The bench is Wet!

New in Science #Robotics: In virtual and real-world testing, users completed exercises with a new human-machine interface system with an extra robotic arm using gaze and breathing contractions. @GiDominijanni@_smicera@SolaimanShokur@LeonardoPollina https://t.co/JqKApusmPD
🦾 Cognitive strategies for augmenting the #human body: an @EPFL_en study coordinated by @_smicera shows that breathing may be used to control a wearable extra #robotic arm.

🚨 Ever wondered what would it be like to have a third arm?
Check our new paper, finally out in @SciRobotics ✨, where we investigate human motor augmentation!

It's happening! Applications are open for our Pilot January to February course in Computational Neuroscience!
This is a smaller course in only the Americas timezone, so spots will fill up quickly! 💨

Silvestro Micera, from EPFL’s Neuro-X institute, is tricking the brain to have phantom thermo sensations in amputated limbs. “Reconnecting prosthesis to the brain greatly improves control and mobility.” In conclusion, science fiction becoming reality. #SRD2023
