Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Now closer to reality: Prosthetics that can feel
Humans do a lot of things with their hands: We squeeze avocados at the grocery story, scratch our dogs behind the ears and hold our significant others' hands. They are things that many people who have lost limbs can't do.
Article Description
Multiple sources of sensory information are combined to develop hand posture percepts in the intact system, but the combination of multiple artificial somatosensory percepts by human prosthesis users has not been studied. Here, we report on a case study in which a person with transradial amputation identified prosthetic hand postures using artificial somatosensory feedback. He successfully combined five artificial somatosensory percepts to achieve above-chance performance of 95.0% and 75.7% in identifying four and seven postures, respectively. We studied how artificial somatosensation and the extant hand representation are combined in the decision-making process by providing two mappings between the prosthetic sensor and the location of the sensory percept: (1) congruent, and (2) incongruent. The participant’s ability to combine and engage with the sensory feedback significantly differed between the two conditions. The participant was only able to successfully generalize prior knowledge to novel postures in the congruent mapping. Further, he learned postures more accurately and quickly in the congruent mapping. Finally, he developed an understanding of the relationships between postures in the congruent mapping instead of simply memorizing each individual posture. These experimental results are corroborated by a Bayesian decision-making model which tracked the participant’s learning.
