Objects held in the hand, for the brain, are body parts

We often say that the pen or even the smartphone are like extensions of our hand, and in fact the brain sees them just like that: it perceives each tool we hold in our hands as if it were an extension of the body to which tactile perception can be applied. The discovery, which may help the development of more precise and less invasive prostheses, is published in the journal Current Biology by an international research team in which the University of Milano-Bicocca, Ircss Istituto Auxologico Italiano and the University of Trento also participated.

The study involved 16 people who were asked to hold a stick in their hands that was subjected to external impacts. All participants were able to localize the impact with near-perfect accuracy, as if the touch occurred on the arm. At the same time, the researchers, using electroencephalography (Eeg), found that the position of the impact on the instrument was decoded by the same brain regions that are activated when contact occurs directly on the body, as if the brain applied the body’s tactile perception to the object.

“These results,” comments Nadia Bolognini, professor of psychobiology and physiological psychology at the University of Milan-Bicocca. suggest that it will be possible, in the not-too-distant future, to design increasingly less invasive, high-performance neuroprostheses by generating tactile signals in them that provide optimal responses in contact with objects. This could be accomplished by taking advantage of the mechanism identified in our study, which will allow the patient to locate tactile stimuli on a prosthesis in a natural way, thus facilitating the use of the prosthesis as if it were a true extended sensory organ.”.
