Had a great first day at #BACN25 - fantastic talks (special mention to @nadinedijkstra.bsky.social) and posters 🤓; lovely people and atmosphere ✨️; nice food 🌱; and boooiii what a gorgeous campus 👌🤩 Also really enjoyed our symposium on the self in information processing 🙋; and the ceilidh 👯‍♂️

Really enjoying #BACN2025 so far - *amazing* vegan vegetarian catering and exciting talks. Our symposium is on NOW, so please pop by

Thanks so much to @imrf.bsky.social organising committee @dorothycowie.bsky.social @markonardini.bsky.social @meike-scheller.bsky.social and Ulrik Beierholm and everyone else involved. It was a great forum.

It's a wrap! We are happy to bring IMRF 2025 to a close, but also sad to say goodbye to so many lovely, smart people! (or at least "until next year").

#IMRF2025 Group picture just dropped!! Can you find yourself? #WhereIsWaldo? #multisensorySquad #bestResearchCommunity #sensesUnite

Just caught a busy bee in the evening light outside our office @durhampsych.bsky.social Happy day for science (IMRF2025)🧠 Sad day for our local environmental action 🐝🌱💀 www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Our methods workshops are ON! 🔥 what a fantastic line up, covering: Continuous Psychophysics (Björn Jörges) EEG decoding (Yannis Delis) Causal inference models (Ulrik Beierholm) Hard to choose between 🤩 #IMRF2025

Opening lecture happening now - come down to TLC042 #IMRF2025

Symposia 1 and 2 are on now! Come and hear about the neural dynamics of temporal processing (Rohe, Senkowski) or multisensory embodied self-environment interactions (Crucianelli)

@lauracrucianelli.bsky.social opening Symposium 2: “Real bodies in a real world: Multisensory and Embodied signatures of Self-Environment interactions” at #IMRF2025 @imrf.bsky.social

IMRF folks, we are ready for you! We cannot wait to see you all tomorrow for the opening (1.30pm) or the workshops (9am). Safe travels & looking forward to catching up tomorrow Your organising team imrf2025.sciencesconf.org

There is still ~2 weeks time to sign up for one of our exciting pre-conference methods workshops: imrf2025.sciencesconf.org/resource/pag...

So excited to be hosting three amazing methods workshops this year: Join us if you want to learn about continuous psychophysics, EEG decoding, or causal inference modelling in multisensory research 🔬🧠🧮

Looking forward to seeing some familiar and new faces at this meeting. Come join us in beautiful Edinburgh in September 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🧠🤩

Hi pals, Our early bird 🦜 registration is still open until tomorrow (16th May) - make sure to register to get the cheaper rates. Register here: pay.durham.ac.uk/event-durham... More info: imrf2025.sciencesconf.org Full programme: tinyurl.com/IMRF25Prog

Happy Friday Multisensory pals, the talk/poster session schedule for IMRF 2025 is now available on our website - check it out here: imrf2025.sciencesconf.org/resource/pag... ✌️👁️👅👂👃🦇🦾🦻⚖️

IMRF programme planning in the works📅 Some amazing talks and posters are being put together into what looks to be an exciting programme. We can't wait to share it with you next week. And remember: early bird registration ends on the 16th May🐦 imrf2025.sciencesconf.org Ulrik, Dorothy, Meike, Marko

If, like my partner and me, you love hiking and living like a pair of old, German retirees, do yourself a favour and spend your next annual leave on Madeira. The nature here is incredible.

She is finally published. Small sample but valuable insights. We've been studying audio-haptic integration in sighted and early- vs. late-blind (EB/LB) people. EB integrate optimally, while LB don't (likely switch cues). Here, we're exploring the neural mechanisms of audio-haptic integration...

More optional highlights: Join us for dinner and/or a guided tour at UNESCO heritage sites: Durham Castle and Durham Cathedral. Book an excursion to Beamish, the Living Museum of the North. Or pay a visit to our beautiful Botanic Garden For more info see: imrf2025.sciencesconf.org/resource/pag...

Registering early this year has more advantages - Secure a space for the social dinner at Durham Castle (200 max)🍽️ - We are also holding a number of rooms in Uni accommodation and at Hotel Ingido for you. Spaces are limited🛏️ - You can request invitation letters (e.g. for VISA) at registration stage📝

Spring at @durhampsych.bsky.social has to involve cherry blossom + blue skies 😌 (+at least 5000 daffodils on campus)
