As part of the seminars organized by the “Padua Neuroscience Center – PNC”, Alessandro Farnè will give a talk entitled “Humans embody tools to use them like hands. How’s that?” on May 23, 2024, at the Psychology Complex, at the Aula 2C-Psico2 - Building PSICO2 (Via Venezia 12 – Padova).
Scientists have long questioned the origin of the exquisite human mastery of tools. How do we manage controlling a tool in the skillful way humans typically do, that is, as a body-part? Grasping objects with tools is a major challenge for the motor system, in that the control of the hand needs to be transferred to the prehensile part of the tool. In the first part of the talk there will be presented findings suggesting that motor control is not merely distalized from the fingers to a grabber prongs: rather, when we use tools to grasp objects, the body of the tool is incorporated into our arm representation. Sensing through tools also challenges the somatosensory system heavily. In the second part of the talk, there will be presented recent findings showing that distalisation does not apply to tool sensing either. We can localize impacts on the entire surface of a hand-held rod with great accuracy, and we suggest we may do so by repurposing body-based somatosensory processes to localize touch on a tool. Together, these findings indicate that rather than mere distal links between the hand and environment, tools are treated by the nervous system as sensorimotor extensions of the body.
Alessandro Farnè leads the Integrative Multisensory Perception Action & Cognition Team at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, France. His research mainly focuses on the behavioral processes and neural mechanisms of multisensory perception, motor planning and execution, cognitive representations and executive control, all critical components of human behavior.
The seminar is held in English, and it is open to professors, researchers, lecturers, Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows and grant holders.
Attendance is free as long as seats are available.

As part of the seminars organized by the “Padua Neuroscience Center – PNC”, Alessandro Farnè will give a talk entitled “Humans embody tools to use them like hands. How’s that?” on May 23, 2024, at the Psychology Complex, at the Aula 2C-Psico2 - Building PSICO2 (Via Venezia 12 – Padova).
Scientists have long questioned the origin of the exquisite human mastery of tools. How do we manage controlling a tool in the skillful way humans typically do, that is, as a body-part? Grasping objects with tools is a major challenge for the motor system, in that the control of the hand needs to be transferred to the prehensile part of the tool. In the first part of the talk there will be presented findings suggesting that motor control is not merely distalized from the fingers to a grabber prongs: rather, when we use tools to grasp objects, the body of the tool is incorporated into our arm representation. Sensing through tools also challenges the somatosensory system heavily. In the second part of the talk, there will be presented recent findings showing that distalisation does not apply to tool sensing either. We can localize impacts on the entire surface of a hand-held rod with great accuracy, and we suggest we may do so by repurposing body-based somatosensory processes to localize touch on a tool. Together, these findings indicate that rather than mere distal links between the hand and environment, tools are treated by the nervous system as sensorimotor extensions of the body.
Alessandro Farnè leads the Integrative Multisensory Perception Action & Cognition Team at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, France. His research mainly focuses on the behavioral processes and neural mechanisms of multisensory perception, motor planning and execution, cognitive representations and executive control, all critical components of human behavior.
The seminar is held in English, and it is open to professors, researchers, lecturers, Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows and grant holders.
Attendance is free as long as seats are available.
