Have you ever been using VR and walked into a wall? Check out our latest paper where we investigate this topic! @ARVOJOV

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! @royalsociety

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! https://t.co/GVQm64EkMy

Dear friends,

We are asking for help to pursue the best possible care for Sara. If you can’t donate but still want to help, please consider sharing our campaign on any channel.

Merry Christmas, from Sara, Guido, and the rest of the Hawkins clan.

@DKaiserlab Congratulations!

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.

Does your ability to move to a previously seen distance depend on your movement speed and the direction of self-motion? Find out here: https://t.co/TqOuROddJB

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

@mugecavdan @Eurohaptics2024 @DrewingKnuet Congratulations! I look forward to reading the paper :D

How well do you know how far you have moved without the reference of gravity? Our latest paper tells you! https://t.co/qFs2dRrjEj

How does visuomotor predictability affect tactile sensitivity? Find out in our latest paper!

We find that task load can amplify tactile suppression where people might downweight task-irrelevant feedback signals when task demands are high. @RSocPublishing

A fun colour illusion!

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 @IASATorg

[belkis.ezgi.arikan @EzgiBelkis]

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

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

If you're in Berlin tomorrow come check out my talk at @ScheringStiftg. 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.

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.

[Meaghan McManus @McManusMeaghan]

@tales_tomorrow Agreed. Then they can add in more sun chips! Yum!

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
