Our brains are adapting to touchscreen smartphone technology say researchers who have carried out a study on human volunteers.
The scientists used something called electroencephalography (EEG) to measure brain activity.
They found distinct differences between smartphone users and people who used 'conventional' cellphones.
Smartphone users had more attuned fingers and thumbs, based on their EEG readings.
Of the 37 volunteers, 26 were touchscreen smartphone users while 11 used 'old-fashioned' mobile phones.
