@n_j_davis @DrGBuckingham Just a numbers game, unfortunately. 75 other applications considered international quality in my round. Lots to follow up on in future bids, in any case!

Happy to share a new preprint! Me and my excellent RA co-authors provide insight into how humans use a single hand to cumulatively grasp and then transport multiple objects. We’ve decided to refer to this behaviour as ‘multiple object handling’ osf.io/preprints/psya…

@n_j_davis @DrGBuckingham EPS is for motion-tracking, which is still underway. The RA on the grant used some free time to do coding for this experiment, hence EPS acknowledged here. Just now trying for some money to do the TMS part of the BBSRC bid. The wheel keeps turning!

@n_j_davis @DrGBuckingham Thanks for accepting the review request, Nick! (BBSRC doesn't let you get in touch first, so I do appreciate you taking this on out of the blue). BBSRC was actually unsuccessful (panel gave 5/6, but still not funded). Gavin referring to EPS grant, I think.

@DrGBuckingham Thanks Gavin! So many unusual ways people use their hands in this task - certainly lots to follow up on...

We expect that the general strategy described holds true for situations using more than two objects, but this is something for a follow-up experiment. Looking forward to sharing more on this area over the coming months!

In sum, we show how people can use their hand in an incredibly flexible manner to cumulatively grasp and transport objects. This common motor skill shows how we can use a range of grips, other than finger-thumb opposition, for efficient object transport.

Do you have a congenital upper limb difference? Do you rarely use a functional prosthesis/assistive device? Please RT and get in touch if you would like to to help us better understand the experiences and needs of those with a limb difference!
