For science!

🫩 oh man. I never realised the young parents / I submitted at 3am emoji is finally here 🤣

als #Auslandsbremer in der Romandie freut man sich besonders über die letzten Transfers #Werder #Lausanne gibt bestimmt auch samples für #JanDelay 🎙️

Tried to find an opportune moment when the line to test the meta boba HMD wasn’t too long 😅 NGL that extended field of view is amazing 🤯 SIGGRAPH2025 General critique of VR demos remains that… we need bodies in VR 🤣 enough with the disembodied views. “floating in a most peculiar way”

some really cool / bizarre demos here 😅 always interested in haptic interfaces though. How about this referred touch interface? #SIGGRAPH2025

there’s a donut wall 🍩 🤯😆SIGGRAPH2025

Next up at #SIGGRAPH2025 Workshop: XR in Medicine: From the Dev Floor to the Operating Room - curious about this one. Most speakers are from the same company (illuminate surgical) Good to see more #medicalXR at SIGGRAPH in any case 🥽

Off to see my first session - Ed Catmull on 30 years of Toy Story #SIGGRAPH2025 s2025.siggraph.org/siggraph-202...

just wrote about eternally funded researchers... unfortunately still eXternally funded... #wishfulThinking

new gear to test at SIGGRAPH 2025 :) 🥽

Heading to #SIGGRAPH2025 in Vancouver this weekend. We have a workshop (including a Swiss 🇨🇭apero) on human-centred innovation in healthcare with a focus on AI and VR #medicalXR. Please let me know if you are in the area - happy to meet up at or around the conference.

I told you we’d be back

Hello Bluesky! Our students are running a short survey on interoception, ADHD, and autism. If you’ve got a few minutes, they’d be so grateful if you could take part — and help spread the word! 🔗 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #psychscisky

It’s sad that it requires courage right now for a university president to file something as straightforward as this, but it does. Thanks to Tufts University President Sunil Kumar for filing this. www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

I asked #ChatGPT to write an #AprilFools joke for me.

This is a challenge we are grappling with as a Society. Engagement on Twitter is down while engagement here is up but numbers of users within the cognitive neuroscience community are still low. We want to have community for sharing ideas between meetings! #CNS2025

What of this, a #Connections vs #Severance crossover? #noSpoilers

What are your favourite storage solutions for #XR #VR #headsets? Any recommendations for charging units or did you repurpose #serverRacks with drawers? (recently saw this) #VRcademicSky #medicalXR Bonus points for storage units that don’t cost 5k$ shipping from the US 😅

a huddle happened…

favourite feature of my new laptop so far has been the switch of the audio jack to ~my left... where all 🎧 have their connection. (now guess how old my previous laptop is)

I am recruiting for postdoctoral and technician positions at UCSD. If anyone with relevant skills/interests has lost funding due to the anti-DEI jihad or the NIH purge, I’m open to discussion of ways we can try to help out.

New @sloanfoundation.bsky.social postdoc program on Metascience and AI. Please reach out to me if you are interested in applying for this to work with our lab on these questions, which are of great interest to us right now. sloan.org/programs/dig...

bit of a different question… can someone identify this (presumably) #researchStation in #Greenland? No location data mid flight… #Ittoqqortoormiit

and that’s a wrap for #SIGGRAPH Asia. A great pleasure to present #medicalXR to a new community and learn about #storytelling and #gamedesign in exchange. Also got to meet #EPFL alumni +installations and pass by #KojimaProductions for a quick selfie with the #Ludens statue 😁

First full day at #SIGGRAPH Asia yesterday. So many highlights 😅 from playing Gundam in VR to Sessions in Storytelling and Final Fantasy’s Active Time Lore. @rethemnos76.bsky.social and I will be giving a course on computational #medicalXR on Thursday.
