Third Thumb Changes The Prosthetics Game

[@Enthralpy]

I'd be careful if I were these scientists. First, it's an extra thumb. Next, it's 4 extra limbs. And finally, *Doctor Octopus*

[@Artemis_simetrA]

It will happen in the future. So, will the Bat-suit and Iron-armor. There's no denying that.

Because we already have two thumbs, one in each hand.

And we don't have middle fingers, because we have an even number of them, so there is no middle.

[@kylem1112]

I guess the third thumb might be the middle finger, depending on the orientation of the hands. Unless you're also one of those people who doesn't count thumbs as fingers.

Leaning on one foot excessively would cause the tail to curl up, but if coiling an object, it will squeeze but not crush the object/person. I would buy something like this haha!

[@allenholloway5109]

Exactly. I want a study that looks at how the brain reacts to controlling a limb it was not designed to handle. I believe the brain is flexible enough to handle it, but I want in-depth analysis. Soon, with this kind of outside thinking, we could have things like a brain-controlled hang glider (even powered versions). Not to mention the normal sci-fi extra limbs and things like that people would normally think about. Now, I'm a bit biased with my dream for flight, but a big drawback of wingsuits is the lack of real pitch control, making it impossible to land gently (like a bird). But in the future, things like prosthetic wings could actually be a reality, since brain controls are much faster and complex than a normal pilot would be able to handle. So we could have real, personal flight. But that's just scratching the surface of what could be possible in the near future. Perhaps it still won't be *affordable* per se, but just thinking about it gets me excited.

Without it linking directly into the brain though it has extremely limited use. Toes are nowhere near as dextrous as fingers, and there's no way you could pilot a whole arm with any kind of precision with your toes.

[@Nabbehh]

Why do people like you exist

[@queendread4427]

if they make it attached via nerves, i don't think you will be able to even move it for a while because i don't think the brain will just suddenly learn/accept the new digit immediately. after that it will just become natural and soon you'll be fluently playing guitar or even piano with that extra thumb and be able to play slightly more complicated pieces.

[@Eidlones]

Golden There was a guy who made a third arm controlled by tensing the muscles in his thigh. After awhile, he said that he didn't even think about using the arm, it just happened. The brain remapped how it viewed his body in order to adapt to the new limb.

[@queendread4427]

Dang that's awesome! Wish I can make these kind of things...

Theres something about it i really really hate and i think that will make my brain explode

[@vuxigeck5281]

iki hiyori Maybe it's because it doesn't look like a normal finger. That's the case for me, at least.

[@arda9437]

What if you walk with it? All the toes move so...

[@nGUNNARp]

yeah...maybe a future concept, but this exact one seems pretty silly

[@black_wink1649]

Its still a prototype for a reason, doubtlessly they know that the completed product needs to be "walkable" . Maybe they will add some toe combination to signal if your walking or not, or put a computer in the machine to filter out walk cycle pressure.

[@KickyFut]

You prolly have to temporarily stop it while walking...

[@Vishydeenu]

That's why she said she's going to work with some neuro scientists. Maybe hardwiring the thumb directly into the human nervous system could provide some interesting designs. Then again the human mind does not naturally have the knowledge to move the third thumb so it would take some trial and error

[@chrisdelzell8467]

@@Vishydeenu Hand... pick up... the ball!

[@mitrikgaduk347]

Honestly I find this extraordinarily fascinating. One thing we tend to forget is that prosthetics don't need to be full blown exo-skeletons or replacements for lost limbs or body parts, they can be something so small as an extra thumb. It brings me back to Ghost in the Shell and the ability to split your fingers into multiple connected smaller limbs to increase productivity. There's also stuff like Chell's Boots from Portal, which is essentially used as an excuse to survive fall damage, but the idea of having prosthetics that can be attached to your legs that allow you to survive falls from great heights are a very similar concept. I honestly think this is a lot more genius than most "meme-worthy" responses this has gotten.

[@joeschmoe1002]

So if it's controlled by your toes, does that mean you can't control the thumb while you walk/run? Like, could I walk across the room with four wine glasses in one hand? All of the examples in the video had people standing still/sitting down.

[@alexanderharitonoff1893]

id say it is a bit of a crutch of a controlling mechanism and is to be revised and redone in the future consider it a proof of concept, not a finished product

[@dunewizard]

Several professional prosthetic designers have already gotten away from this form of interface and are perfecting some that interface directly with the brain, both wired and wireless. This is basically the level of a high school science fair compared to the level that is already in use. This is probably less of a viable product as it is a proof-of-concept for someone's resume.

[@MarianKeller]

The issue here is that there is no easy way to grab the motion information for an imaginary digit from the brain by sensing the right motor neurons, which is what regular prosthetic systems would do.

[@dunewizard]

Our brains actually do not rely on thinking about how to make a appendage move, but what we intend for an appendage to accomplish, at least one prosthetic design company, using low profile electroencephalography has created an interface to operate whole arm replacements, with individual finger articulation, as well as wrist, elbow and shoulder, without the need to map neuropathways to former muscle groups. The portion of the brain that controls motor function is extremely adaptable as well, to the point of allowing other portions of the brain to learn to operate body parts that were once controlled by damaged or missing brain tissues. There really is no reason under those conditions that the brain would not be able to learn to operate a 6th digit on either or both hands seamlessly, just as easily as the users of this device learned to control it with their feet. My objection to the "technology" displayed in this video, is that it essentially impairs the user rather than empowers them, and has insufficient functionality to justify the loss, just as the older style hand replacements used the bicep muscle to provide force and control to grip, at the loss of full bicep function. The current goal of every designer of prosthetic should be to restore or enhance function without losses, so designing a device that gives a minor increase in functionality at the major loss of other functionality is working backwards, technologically speaking.

[@anothersettlementneedsyour9628]

Stephen hawking’s wheelchair was controlled by his eyes (trough glasses) and it was basically his whole body, and also he still could do other things while controlling his wheelchair. And this is only thumb (or two, if you like) it may be simplier to control these thumbs with the same technology. Also there could be way to make this technology more compact (like lenses). It would be expensive, but it is closest thing to brain controlled version (brain controlled version would be way more expensive).

Sure, but that can be fixed. Of course she didn't wire someone's brain to the prosthetic, way too much effort and complexity and can't just give it to people to try out. If we advance in prosthetics to have limbs be neurally wired like natural limbs, we can make this thumb obey as well, probably.

[@grammarnazi2204]

*of**

[@thejerk00]

I think she meant it this way: Take an example of someone missing a leg. By adding a prosthetic, it's better not to think of it as replacing the leg, but rather extending the capabilities of the person with only 1 leg. It's not the same leg and it operates differently, so it requires remapping of motor skills. Might as well think of it as a new feature altogether. This second thumb is to demonstrate this philosophy -- if having a prosthetic is like learning a new capability, then even people who are not missing parts can use them.
