My main research area is virtual reality, understanding how and why it works with people, and applications in the area of cognitive neuroscience and psychology.

This completes my summary of the 7 chapters.
For years I laboured under the inconsistencies of 'significance testing' - Bayesian methods have been a liberation. Thanks to the developers of @mcmc_stan for wonderful software. https://t.co/1S2k1LrhYl @SAGE_Methods

[Mel Slater @melslater]

Chapter 7 covers multivariate responses for normal and multinomial responses. Also Markov Chain Monte Carlo - the machinery behind Bayesian methods is illustrated. Gambers' Ruin is used to discuss core ideas and a critical comparison with the frequentist paradigm. @SAGE_Methods

A friend of mine is an economist. It’s not my field at all. He’s produced a critique and new model. If you’re into that take a look.

I was very happy to meet my first ever PhD student again after many years yesterday - Tony Tsung-Yueh Lin. https://t.co/UgcxZVswbB

Thanks for the various responses. I like the Bluesky suggestion and there has been the recent upsurge in Threads due to the Brazil situation. Still undecided. Take a look at

I use this platform mainly to read and share news about #VR #XR - how about if we all move en masse to threads?

[Anthony Steed @anthony_steed]

Mar's thread very neatly explains our paper on first-person customisation of self-avatars. I think this the last paper from my sabbatical visit to MSR!

[Mel Slater @melslater]

We do it with their older selves!

@FrontVR has its 1st impact factor at 3.2, great for a new journal. It shows the tremendous and growing interest of researchers in the #XR field. Thanks to the editors: @anthony_steed, @marknb00, @dSeanMustard

More than a “demo” it is a panel discussion about important issues which utilizes #VR to put all the panel members round the same table - even though in 5 different countries.
