The Augmented Humans International Conference* focuses on physical, cognitive, and perceptual augmentation of humans through digital technologies. AH 2027 will take place in Sri Lanka. augmented-humans.org/
Reprogramming perception: A neuroplasticity-focused design space for sensory substitution devices dl.acm.org/doi/epdf/10.1145/… by @AmberMaimon et al. at #AHs2026; "potentially capable of noninvasively altering the brain basis of perception through neuroplasticity." #BCI#NeuroTech
Reflection from latest conference our lab attended (ACM CHI): lab.plopes.org/essays/chi202… which includes all the talks we gave, demos, seeing our alumni, catching up with friends, fixing broken demos, and other fun moments we had at the conference!

.@AmberMaimon: “The greatest challenge is that perception is not simply electrical.”
“It’s not enough to activate the right neurons or reproduce the correct signal patterns. The information must be organized in a way the brain can interpret integrate”

Huge #NeuroCHI meetup at #CHI2026 for folks interested in the intersection of HCI and neuroscience.. and guess what... It's close to 100 people!? Special thanks @AmberMaimon and Ido (and all orgs) for the hard work! Kia Hook absolutely rocked us with a somatic activity!
I'm chairing the first session of #augmentedhumans2026 on #haptics, sensory substitution and perception! What a collection of incredible papers! (They will be soon online, but DM if you want a preview). #AHs2026
#augmentedhumans2026 conference started (#AHs2026) with a record number of papers and participants! Thanks to the organizing committee for all the hard work! Papers will be in the ACM DL very soon!
Delighted to be on @jorgecham's #ScienceStuff podcast discussing sensory augmentation, technology & neuroplasticity alongside Lore Thaler & Liam Norman on echolocation. Interested? We'll explore these themes & more at the @acm_chi#CHI2026#NeuroHCI meetup! Links in comments :)
(I'm supposed to advertise CHI, but let me take off the TPC chair hat to say): Augmented Humans is a really interesting specialized conference that mixes many topics in cutting edge ways (augmentation, haptics, XR, sensory substitution, AI)
.. and you can still submit to it!
