Oh this is MELTING MY BRAIN by Niko22966

Check out Samantha Cristoforetti's video on our Vection experiment!

The Sun has been really active lately. Last week we saw the most stunning auroras I have ever experienced in over 300 days in space! #auroraaustralis #MissionMinerva

Another great #VSS2023! If you weren't able to stop by my poster you can check it out now. We find that people rely heavily on allocentric cues (80%+) and ignore egocentric cues when switching between the real world and VR.

Hello fellow little ones, I wrote a blog post looking at how bad psychophysical staircase procedures that are geared towards determining PSEs (e.g., PEST) are if you wanna estimate JNDs. TLDR: individual estimates are noisy (obvs) but probably not biased b-jorges.github.io/website/AreJND…

If you're in Berlin tomorrow come check out my talk at Schering Stiftung. My talk will be an accompaniment to the current exhibit by artist Elín Hansdóttir. I will be discussing how VR can be used to distort our perception of space and our perception of up. scheringstiftung.de/de/projektraum…

Two exciting weeks ahead, full of haptics! I am very excited to present our work on material discomfort at the Festival of Touch next week. My talk will be in the 'Texture, wetness, and active touch' session on Tuesday. ResearchINTouch IASAT.org

#FestivalofTouch #ResearchInTouch i'll be presenting my poster on tactile sensitivity during approach-avoidance movements. looking forward to discuss my work there 🙂

Anyone interested in reviewing a paper on a digital cognitive assessment test for older people? I'm getting a bit desperate here.

A fun colour illusion!

How does visuomotor predictability affect tactile sensitivity? Find out in our latest paper! doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2… We find that task load can amplify tactile suppression where people might downweight task-irrelevant feedback signals when task demands are high. Royal Society Publishing

How well do you know how far you have moved without the reference of gravity? Our latest paper tells you! doi.org/10.1038/s41526…

Check out our latest paper investigating self-motion perception in microgravity

If you've ever worn a VR headset and then walked into a wall or your desk then come check out my talk at #ECVP2024

Does your ability to move to a previously seen distance depend on your movement speed and the direction of self-motion? Find out here: doi.org/10.1371/journa…

If you are looking for a fun new VR game then check out this arcade style VR game (can also be played without VR) called "Thread the Void". You travel down colourful hallways dodging blocks while trying to find "the void"- a dark passage in the tunnel. youtube.com/watch?v=KrlIpu…

Tilting people relative to gravity affects our perception of visual size. But what about haptic size? Check out our latest paper on how the vestibular system might be involved in encoding a representation of space with respect to gravity to find out! rdcu.be/eiUlS

What's the relationship between our feeling of motion (vection) and our perception of motion (distance traveled)? Are they related? Find out in our latest paper! The Royal Society doi.org/10.1098/rsos.2…
