Hooray! New paper out on implicit and explicit motor learning and how they effect changes in hand-position estimates. Found here: https://t.co/cBhqSXmVR3 -- with @Henrique5Denise @chad_vachon @BMtHart 1/10

A little late getting to the GPT demos, but wow! - certainly impressed! Here's a few on what GPT thinks about motor learning

📢New Paper!📢

We show eye movements & binocular disparities experienced in #VR are quite different from those in the natural world, leading to discomfort in #VR. We suggest improvements! A 🧵

In press at #ACMToG (https://t.co/BLg2I6Q7np) to be presented at #SIGGRAPH2023!

We believe

💎 Everyone should be able to read and publish research for free

🌍 Research publishing should be commonly owned and run, not for profit

🔢 All data should be open and re-usable

We are delighted to announce a new open publishing initiative

Don't know what a P-VALUE is?

Don't know why P-VALUES work?

Don't know why sometimes P-VALUES don't work?

THIS IS THE THREAD FOR YOU. 🧵

Will also be presenting this at NCM.

That’s a wrap on the #CVRConference2022! We had an amazing week of talks, presentations and it felt so good to be back in person taking in all the great vision science! Thank you so much to @NTroje and the entire conference organizing committee!

We are looking for participants in a VR study and we're paying 45 CAD for about 1.5 hours of your time. The only inclusion criterion is that you must have a VR headset at your disposal! More info (and a sign-up form) here: https://t.co/4U35sO4WN9

Meta has endowed #YorkU with a fellowship of US$250,000 named in honour of the late Kevin MacKenzie, PhD grad in psychology @YorkUPsyc @YorkUHealth, for sustaining vision research at York. @vistayorku https://t.co/PsbKtKNIxL

Final level of polish on my Holopad UI 😃🙌

Virtual physicality and precise hand-tracking (Quest's Hands 2.0 here) allows very precise and intuive UI interactions!
Coming very soon in @HandPhysicsLab!

Made a Shiny app https://t.co/cgn6HA1Y88 implementing @tsay_jonathan's PReMo model.

[Jonathan Sanching Tsay @tsay.bsky.social @tsay_jonathan]

What drives implicit motor adaptation?

@ivrylab @HyosubEKim and @adrianhaith propose that implicit adaptation is an iterative process to re-align the perceived hand position with its intended goal, or PReMo (the Proprioceptive RE-alignment Model).
