Sensory and Motor Building Blocks of an Extra Robotic Digit Representation

Supernumerary limbs provide a unique opportunity to ask how the brain represents an entirely novel effector within an existing sensorimotor system. Here, we investigated how primary motor cortex (M1) represents a robotic extra digit (the Third Thumb; Dani Clode Design), and how this representation changes with experience. Using fMRI, we compared participants following short-term exposure with…
