Now that IEEE World Haptics 2025 has come to an end, I'm thankful to have received an Honorable Mention for Best Work-in-Progress Paper for our work on social touch and pleasantness. 👥 🥳 (w/ @boracelebi.bsky.social @kdrewing.bsky.social)! #ieee #whc2025 #haptics

With so many beautiful memories behind us, I’m sharing my favorite photos from the beautiful city of Suwon, and looking forward to building on these experiences! Many thanks to organizers, reviewers, and attendees for their time and feedback!

Great news! Today Mrunal came to HapLab Giessen to do her PhD thesis here on subliminal tactile perception. Soo exciting! Welcome Mrunal and looking forward to work together!

Erst lässt man die Fremden nicht arbeiten, dann streicht man die Gelder für deren Integration zusammen und am Ende beklagt man deren Bedürftigkeit. Abstoßend.

🆕📑 New paper alert: emotions bend our internal clocks—and keep changing time even after the moment’s gone! ⏳ Free paper access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... @haplab.bsky.social @kdrewing.bsky.social & Nedim Göktepe Findings summary 👇🏽

Our partners from Gent and Luxembourg are preparing a two-human VR evaluation of ChronoPilot time modulation techniques at HapLab! So intensive and exciting!

Two truly inspiring days at INM-Leibniz Institute for New Materials! We exchanged ideas on human touch perception and materials science and looking forward to continuing future collaborations!🎊

Na danke! 🤡

Ja, wissen wir jetzt auch nicht, wer von beiden richtig liegt. Vielleicht mal Sandra Maischberger fragen:

We had wonderful time at #TeaP2025 @teap2025.bsky.social happy to be part of inspiring discussions with amazing people! Until next time ✨

#ChronoPilot meeting started with scenario discussions ⏳ 🫳🏽👁👂🏼 @haplab.bsky.social @argirovatakis.bsky.social @swarmdynamics.bsky.social @haplab.bsky.social

"The tactile distance aftereffect transfers to curvature perception" @michaelajeschke.bsky.social , "The Role of Skin Mechanics for Softness Exploration and Perception" @didemkatircilar.bsky.social and "Causal Inference in Visuotactile Temporal Judgements" @boracelebi.bsky.social

#TeaP2025 is so close to home this year! It was amazing to meet colleagues from all over the world at the welcome reception on the beautiful Goethe University campus.

I’m so excited to present our work on how elasticity, hydration and finger pad size affect softness exploration and perception at the "Tactile and Time Perception" session tomorrow (March 10th) at 11.15. Hope to see you there! #RolandBennewitz @kdrewing.bsky.social @haplab.bsky.social #TeaP2025

These results offer important insights for our EU-FET OPEN project ChonoPilot where the overarching goal is to manipulate human time perception using multimodal stimulation. Great work Bora!

Bora’s paper is out in Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics !🎉 In series of experiments, we investigated the impact of attention on tactile time perception. Individuals showed expended time perception when their attention was directed to a spatial body location. link.springer.com/article/10.3...
