Great participation at HackTheMidlands

Announcement! 📢🎼🧠 RPPW 19 will take place in Nottingham NTU Psychology 19-22nd June 2023 hosted by Darren Rhodes and Chris Sumner - please see rppw.org for more details! See you all soon rhythm, music, movement and brain types! #rppw19 TimingResearchForum

New paper by davide de florio about measuring age-related skin changes and deterioration of tactile spatial acuity to capture performance with a neurophysiological model - doi.org/10.1113/JP2831… Journal of Physiology

The next International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF 2023) will take place in Brussels (Belgium) on June 27-30 / 2023. Brussels is a vibrant city in the heart of Europe, we are looking forward to hosting you for amazing science and fun!

TRF is happy to announce something that has been in the works for awhile now......Finally, TRF3 will happen! Reserve your calendars!!! Thank you Joseph Paton!

Alan and I are promoting our new adaptive touch testing system #ATTS at @ukotac Glasgow today! SyMoN Lab obirobotics development for assessing touch discrimination ability.

I’m running a new experiment with string quartets as part of our Augmented Reality Music Ensemble - if you’re a string player in Birmingham, it’ll take ~2h on UoB campus, you’ll be compensated £30 to play some Haydn excerpts! Message me if interested, thanks 🎶 SyMoN Lab

Family fun with psychophysics and sensory integration at #BrainAwarenessWeek #UoBBAW Midlands Arts Centre (MAC), led by my colleagues from The Centre for Human Brain Health SyMoN Lab Ali Khatibi @alikhatibi.bsky.social Syanah Wynn @AndreaPisauro

Here at #RPPW19 with our team Augmented Reality Music Ensemble - got a poster about simulated musical ensemble and a demo of tapping plug-in with us for today & tomorrow!

Great participation of ARME RPPW with 7 posters and the keynote by Alan Wing SyMoN Lab. Thank you to Darren Rhodes for organising such a successful #RPPW19 conference!

Another Augmented Reality Music Ensemble poster, this week at IMRF 23 - Brussels! One we looked at AV simultaneity in VR & AR, before we create virtual musicians who’ll practice with you in virtual environment!

Conference dinner ready IMRF 23 - Brussels Dr Christopher Atkin Dr. Rebecca Hirst @NoraPlethora

My first #JointActionMeeting presenting our most recent work - phase & period correction of a professional string quartet. I had many great discussion (thanks all!!). Please email me or visit Augmented Reality Music Ensemble website if we didn’t get to speak!

Our work is out! We manipulated the visual display of textured surfaces (veridical, filtered, in/congruent) in a mirrorbox, and found visual benefit for static touch was strongest in a spatially non-informative visual condition, see: doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

layerfMRI was faster than me 😅 so retweeting his post now. It only took ages (because life..) but our laminar fMRI paper is finally out in Nature Communications! With Lars Muckli now at: larsmuckli.bsky.social, Lucy S. Petro, @atyler_morgan, Clement Abbatecola & Min Li

Cortical depth profiles in primary visual cortex for illusory and imaginary experiences nature.com/articles/s4146… by Johanna Bergmann Min Li @atyler_morgan Lars Muckli now at: larsmuckli.bsky.social et al.; mental imagery content is decodable mainly from deep layers of V1

📢 New & First preprint 📢 Delighted to share my first ever preprint during my PhD - Older adults are more susceptible to impulsive social influence (osf.io/preprints/psya…). How does ageing affect people's susceptibility to social influence?

We're growing our team on #accessibility and #inclusive #design Bristol Interaction Group. Join us! 2 #postdoc positions on Inclusive Co-Design and on Edible Interfaces Deadline May 6. More info: dive.ousmet.com/inclusive-cros… #CHI2024 #UIST2024 #ASSETS2024 #IDC2024

Excited to bring my first piece of multisensory work with Oussama Metatla at Diverse-ability Interaction lab to #imrf2025 - this study explores the Bouba-Kiki association in textures as part of the #InclusiveXPlay project!
