With an amazing keynote by @michaelgaebler.com #wuertual25 comes to an end. A huge thank you to all participants for sharing your research and perspectives and for contributing to the amazing atmosphere! #tbc

#wuertual25 just started! Looking forward to an interesting and inspiring 3 days ahead 🚀

🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

I might be biased, but what an inspiring #VR symposium at #PuG25 🤩 This field still develops so fast 🚀as showcased by the integration of neurophysiology, multi-user settings and clinical application. Thanks to @martandreatta.bsky.social, @leonkroczek.bsky.social, @michaelgaebler.com and Marius Rubo!

@jannateigeler.bsky.social opening PuG2025 symposia 🚀 presenting our gaze-based approach-avoidance task #AAT 👀 Turns out it’s actually hard to transfer traditional AAT paradigms to #eye-tracking. Attention is likely influenced by additional factors like salience and arousal🔥

Excited about all #PUG25 @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social posts coming in! Check out our symposium "The Best of Both Worlds? Bridging Behavior and Physiology Using Immersive #VirtualReality" 🗓️Friday 14:30-16:00 @sabrinagado.bsky.social @michaelgaebler.com Marius Rubo @martandreatta.bsky.social

Happy to share that this study is now published in JEP:HPP 🎉 psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/...

🚨 New study reveals that when used to summarize scientific research, generative AI is nearly five times less accurate than humans. Many haven't realized, but Gen AI's accuracy problem is worse than initially thought.

Our social conditioning #VR study is now published in Behavior Research Methods: doi.org/10.3758/s134... More exiting projects with this paradigm soon to come #staytuned 😊

Finally it’s my turn to say: #phdone 🙌🏻🎓 Thanks @gamerlab.bsky.social and @rtg2660.bsky.social for giving me this opportunity! It was a blast 🎊

Only few days left to apply for a PhD position in my group @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

🗓️Save the date! The Wuertual Reality XR-Meeting is back! 🙌🏻 From Oct 8-10, 2025, Würzburg will be the place-to-be to present, discuss, and try out the latest psychological VR, AR, and XR research. Stay tuned for more information! 🚀

A starter pack I found missing 👓🖥️🌍🧠🩺 Immersive technologies - #VR, #AR, #XR, #spatialcomputing, #CG - for research (e.g., psychology, neuroscience) & medicine (diagnostics, therapy). go.bsky.app/E9bhHvQ Please let me know if you wanna be added - especially undergrad, grad, predoc researchers!

🎉 Very proud to share my first published PhD paper 🎊 With @gamerlab.bsky.social, @jannateigeler.bsky.social and the amazing bachelor students Kaja Kümpel and Madita Schindler, we investigated how trait social anxiety influences social attention in naturalistic situations 🌳🏡 doi.org/10.1080/1061...

Next up: two further posters of the lab #2024SPR - @sabrinagado.bsky.social presenting a meta-analysis on the influence of social anxiety on subjective, physiological and hormonal measures 👇

📣 New Preprint 📣 @yannikstegmann.bsky.social, @gamerlab.bsky.social and I investigated the robustness of the Social Attention Bias 👀 We explored whether humans can suppress directing their attention towards social stimuli when this is associated with an aversive outcome 👉 osf.io/preprints/os...

5 days left to apply! 👀 Join us in wonderful Würzburg for your PhD 🥳 uni-wuerzburg.de/grk2660/join...

Please share with potentially interested candidates that the RTG 2660 is hiring new PhD students! Looking forward to new colleagues and can 💯% recommend being part of our group 🤓😇

On my way home from #emhfc2024 🚄 Huge thanks to the organizers for setting up an inspiring and diverse meeting! I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn 🤓, to connect with the conditioning community 🤝🏻 and also for receiving one of the poster prizes 🏆 for our VR-study #research #conference #vr

📣New Preprint 📣 Excited to share my first immersive #VR study where @gamerlab.bsky.social and I investigated social approach-avoidance behavior after a one-trial social conditioning procedure 👉 osf.io/j2zds

Thrilled to start on bsky 👋 with a 🚨 Paper Alert! 🚨We uncovered lateralized prefrontal cortex activity 🧠 using fNIRS in realistic scenarios 🌍✈️ with different workload levels 📊 and emotional speech distractions 🗣️ Eager for more details on cognitive integration? ⬇️ 🧐 www.frontiersin.org/articles/10....
