🧠✋ “Our research shows how current prosthesis solutions, which focus on mirroring the visual appearance of the lost limb, aren’t always functionally useful for patients.” Viviana Betti from Sapienza Università di Roma is investigating how natural hand usage influences behavior and #brain activity, and its implications for upper-limb #prosthetics. Neuroimaging studies explore how the brain maintains an internal model of hand function during rest, affecting motor tasks. The HANDmade project repre
