🎉 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

@JBJSmeets Maybe compute the correlation between conditions

Oculomotor self-touch induces illusory body ownership https://t.co/1erQKiTHdf 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!

New paper by @davidedeflorio about measuring age-related skin changes and deterioration of tactile spatial acuity to capture performance with a neurophysiological model - https://t.co/CugquNdQt7 @JPhysiol

Congratulations to Davide Deflorio to successfully defend his PhD thesis “Peripheral mechanism for fine tactile perception” without any corrections!

[Augmented Reality Music Ensemble @ARMEproject]

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."

Chairing a session with inspiring speakers talking about the digital divide #DubaiFutureForum @MOTF

[Massimiliano Di Luca @maxdiluca]

Next week I’ll participate in the #DubaiFutureForum at the Museum of the Future @dubaifuture. Yes.. the picture in the flyer is the actual building 😲 !! https://t.co/1UFCISFYkh

@TheCHBH strategy event

[Massimiliano Di Luca @maxdiluca]

@ProfWiddows opened the 2022 Research Conference highlighting the game-changing achievements of researchers @unibirmingham

[Massimiliano Di Luca @maxdiluca]

@twi_mar Good luck, Mar. Wish you all the best!

[Min Li @susan_m_li]

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!

[Massimiliano Di Luca @maxdiluca]

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

[Poppy Aves @poppyaves]

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

[Massimiliano Di Luca @maxdiluca]

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: https://t.co/7w02Erdh4a #VR #AR #MR #XR
