Advances in thumb war technology!

Do you sometimes need an extra pair of hands around the house? How about just two extra thumbs? It may sound like science fiction, but a new study finds the human brain could happily get used to having a sixth finger.

Researchers in London discovered participants testing out a device called the Third Thumb could perform challenging tasks easier using just one hand. Moreover, their brains also started to treat each finger on their hands more equally. Study authors say Third Thumb is moving the conversation of prosthetics beyond simple limb replacement and is now making it possible to enhance human ability.
