Potatosickness blocks long-term VR use. A new meta-analysis shows how low-level visual factors drive symptoms. Design tips: restrict peripheral FOV, use stable visual reference frames, avoid oscillatory or off-vertical motion. brill.com/view/journal... @multisensoryres.bsky.social @imrf.bsky.social

Loved this reflection from @jslbutler.bsky.social on IMRF 2025. The beauty of this conference is exactly that — the mix of perspectives and a true multisensory mosaic. 📍 Durham, UK | #IMRF2025 #MultisensoryResearch #NeuroscienceCommunity #AcademicConferences

📍MIVE Lab at @durham-university.bsky.social for #IMRF2025! 1️⃣ @jennycampos.bsky.social shared Anthony Moncada’s work on multisensory illusions & cognitive performance 2️⃣ Dr. Saryazdi on scent & memory 3️⃣ @jslbutler.bsky.social on modelling visual-vestibular self-motion [Repost w/ correct posters]

It was a pleasure to connect with many great perceptual researchers at #IMRF2025. There, I had the opportunity to share my current research comparing metacognitive access across bodily modalities + cheer on my colleagues from Tufts as they presented their own super cool work!

A week of inspiring research & exciting chats with new and old friends at #IMRF2025! Presented our latest work on visuotactile crossmodal congruency effect in children 👾 Thank you @imrf.bsky.social ! Was an honour to help run microphones for such cool talks 🫡

#IMRF2025 First participation ! I was lucky to be able to present my ongoing study during one of the poster sessions. Thank you so much for the nice talks, posters and for all the great interactions i had during the conference Looking forward to the next edition ✨

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.

Had a great time discussing multisensory integration @imrf.bsky.social! And really enjoyed sharing our new work too

#IMRF2025 , what a blast it was to present my sensory substitution research!! So many new nice faces and connections! Looking forward to #IMRF2026 @imrf.bsky.social

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").

Another year of IMRF! Some snaps of the lab and friends at the conference dinner ♥️🥂 Thanks to the organisers of @imrf.bsky.social it's been a brilliant week of science and helpful discussions. Fingers crossed to see everyone in Italy next year ! 🤞🏼

What a fantastic time at IMRF! 🎉 Huge thanks to the brilliant speakers for making our symposium on “Blindness as a Window into Brain Organisation” a big success! Big thanks to the organisers and the scientific community for this stellar event! Great to see so many friends and colleagues! #IMRF2025

#IMRF2025 An amazing week hosting @imrf.bsky.social here at @durham-university.bsky.social

#IMRF2025 the final two symposia are running NOW! Exciting talks about postural control and self motion, and tactile perception happening now

Last morning coffee of the conference on 10 mins 😋 ☕️#IMRF2025

Friday morning sessioms are on! Come and listen to our early bird researchers share their exciting findings in talk sessions 9 and 10. Super cool findings already #IMRF2025

What a blast! Thank you everyone for the legendary party at the #IMRF2025 conference dinner at Durham castle! 🏰🎊🕺💃 (+lots of good vegan food 🌱)

Time for the conference dinner. This year, hosted in the UNESCO world heritage castle of Durham 🤩 we're getting ready for yaaaa #IMRF2025

Keynote number 3 is ready to go. Noone else but the legendary Mark Wallace @wallacelab.bsky.social Join us in TLC042 to hear about some of his life's work on multisensory processing #IMRF2025

Thank you #imrf2025 for providing the space to share ideas and to all the people who were interested in our Kalman Filter-based echolocators and provided valuable comments. The poster session was a blast! And thanks @echodislocation.bsky.social for capturing only the best facial expressions!

Presenting my poster on pain learning and Phantom Limb Pain today at #IMRF2025 at 3.30pm. Come find me at #21 to chat about how amputees learn painful cues across different environments and in active/passive conditions 🧠

Caaaaawwwwfffeeeee! ☕️ Refuell before you dive into the third and thereby last poster session of the conference! Many multisensory gems to be found there 👀 Go, go poster presenters! #IMRF2025

Post-lunch fun talks on audio-visual perception and multisensory development in talk sessions 7 and 8. #IMRF2025

Coming up, we will have lunch (12.30) and our eLife info session (12.45). Grab some food and join us in TLC123 to speak to editor Prof Tamar Makin about recent changes to the publishing model of eLife #IMRF2025

Curious about how sounds transform into meaning over time in blind and sighted individuals? Join me at #IMRF2025 this morning at 9:30 AM as I explore the temporal dynamics of sound representations.

Talk sessions 5 and 6 are in full swing - come down and join us #IMRF2025

👀Tomorrow I'll present our work on sound induced flash illusions, balance and motor responses in childhood. Short story: All measures show developmental change... But they don't seem related? Would you like to discuss these null results with me?🤣 POSTER 6 @imrf.bsky.social @emckenna.bsky.social

Still reminiscing on some of the exciting research we have heard about at #IMRF2025 today while walking back to @durhampsych.bsky.social It's a beautiful, sunny evening tonight so enjoy the mild air and great company in our lovely, historic city #Durham Back to bizz tomorrow ✌️

The second keynote of #IMRF2025 is on now. Alessandro Farnè on the role of vision in grasping and sensing objects with tools

Well, seems like we were too busy enjoying ourselves at the #IMRF2025 reception that we forgot to take pictures. Whooops! Share your pictures with us by tagging us or using the hashing #IMRF2025 What a fantastic end to a fantastic first day Looking forward to more science tomorrow 😍

Great start to #IMRF2025 with Symposium 2 all about body representation and some amazing talks! Really enjoyed hearing about how sounds can affect it, e.g. with the auditory pinocchio illusion 🔊, something quite different than what I work on but so fun!

For anyone at #IMRF2025 wondering why coffee mugs are shaped like this. THIS 👇🏼🍪☕ @imrf.bsky.social
