🎉 New paper alert! 🧠 The velocity-curvature power law is one of the 'kinematic laws of nature' (Flash 2021), a 'fundamental law of human control' (Zago et al. 2016), and one of the 'kinematic regularities' (Frith & Frith 2023) thought to underlie all biological motion. 1/9
Oculomotor self-touch induces illusory body ownership pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3689… This is a really interesting study, but I can't help but think that "oculomotor self-touch" is a great euphemism for watching porn
It’s publication day for When We Touch 🎉 I’m so thankful to everyone involved. The great team @orionbooks | @orionspring . All that took the time to read & share their thoughts. And everyone who checked in along the way. Publishing is a team effort. Thank you all so much!
Announcement! 📢🎼🧠 RPPW 19 will take place in Nottingham @PsychologyNTU 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@TimingForum
New paper by @davidedeflorio about measuring age-related skin changes and deterioration of tactile spatial acuity to capture performance with a neurophysiological model - doi.org/10.1113/JP283174@JPhysiol
Applications are open for a #MIBPT PhD studentship to investigate the synchronisation of small music groups with experiments, computational models, and simulations
"The digital divide won't be fixed merely by more fiber cables connectivity. The real goal - digital dignity - requires widespread access, sovereign identity, distributed ownership, and the co-creation of a sustainable, tech-enabled future for humanity."

Thanks @maxdiluca for organising a day of #BhamXR workshop for all VR/AR researchers yesterday! Was fun showing everyone our set up for visuotactile experiments - changing visual appearances of touch objects in VR & a #lazysusan turntable for presenting stimuli!
Delighted to see such enthusiasm for “BhamXR”, the interdisciplinary workshop I have run with the support of @IAS_UoB. It is inspiring to see the breadth of research in Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Mixed Reality that is taking place at @unibirmingham
I am once again reaching out to #AcademicTwitter to help me do my job… I’m running a workshop titled “is a PhD for me?” for 16-17 year olds. So academics - what is one thing you think they should know about pursuing a PhD? @PhDVoice@AcademicChatter
Excited to announce the Special Issue on “#Haptics in the #Metaverse: Haptic feedback for Virtual, Augmented, Mixed, and eXtended Realities" on the IEEE Transactions on Haptics, submission deadline in Nov 2022: ieee-ras.org/publications/to…#VR#AR#MR#XR
Our workshop 'The Present ant Future of #AI Research' is about to start!
Make sure you join us to hear more about the latest innovative research in Artificial Intelligence 🤖
