How We Touch

<p>How do we feel with our fingertips? What parts of the brain integrate the complexities of touch? And how are scientists creating prosthetics that give feeling back to amputees? </p> <p>In this episode of How We’re Wired, join evolutionary anthropologist Dr Anna Machin as she unpicks the neuroscience behind our sense of touch; from the complex web of nerve endings that cover our skin to meeting the first individuals to experience feeling with a prosthesis. </p> <p>With special thanks to David Ginty, Dennis Aabo Sørensen, Loretana Puglisi, and Silvestro Micera.    </p> <p>How We’re Wired is a Fresh Air Production for The Bertarelli Foundation.
