Esports athletes have reported using electrical brain stimulation to gain a competitive edge. We show that this form of edoping yielded performance improvements in a response inhibition game. As the popularity of esports grows, implications for regulation are clear. Open access!

In today's lab meeting we reviewed a bunch of 30 second video previews from papers presented at previous @sig_chi conferences. Having listed what worked and what didn't, we came up with a set of top tips
ALT Top Tips for creators of 30 second video previews of academic papers 1. Start and end with title and authors 2. Think of it as a trailer: focus on either the motivation and research question and leave them wondering OR present the main/boldest/surprising finding OR the contributions. 3. Audio – choose narration with subtitles rather than a music backing track 4. Avoid just providing text and expecting the viewer to read it. 5. Watch your speed – don’t speak too fast 6. Include videoclips rather than using a slide deck or still images 7. If your research is about an interface or system include a videoclip of that 8. Get feedback
