.@AmberMaimon: “The greatest challenge is that perception is not simply electrical.” “It’s not enough to activate the right neurons or reproduce the correct signal patterns. The information must be organized in a way the brain can interpret+integrate” cacm.acm.org/news/the-new-e…

Huge #NeuroCHI meetup at #CHI2026 for folks interested in the intersection of HCI and neuroscience.. and guess what... It's close to 100 people!? Special thanks @AmberMaimon and Ido (and all orgs) for the hard work! Kia Hook absolutely rocked us with a somatic activity!

The extended proceedings (containing all posters, demos, workshops and more) is also online: dl.acm.org/doi/proceeding…

The ACM CHI 2026 paper program is live on the ACM Digital Library, so please enjoy all the new 1702 pieces of science that #CHI2026 has for you: dl.acm.org/doi/proceeding… (cc @acm_chi ). p.s.: You can read our welcome message at dl.acm.org/action/showFmP…

Meet people working in this space and shape the community! Program listing: programs.sigchi.org/chi/2026/progr… Join us on Slack: join.slack.com/t/neurohcicomm…

I'm chairing the first session of #augmentedhumans2026 on #haptics, sensory substitution and perception! What a collection of incredible papers! (They will be soon online, but DM if you want a preview). #AHs2026

#augmentedhumans2026 conference started (#AHs2026) with a record number of papers and participants! Thanks to the organizing committee for all the hard work! Papers will be in the ACM DL very soon!

Podcast: link.podtrac.com/SciStuff_Super… Meetup: neurohci.github.io/CHI2026

Delighted to be on @jorgecham's #ScienceStuff podcast discussing sensory augmentation, technology & neuroplasticity alongside Lore Thaler & Liam Norman on echolocation. Interested? We'll explore these themes & more at the @acm_chi #CHI2026 #NeuroHCI meetup! Links in comments :)

(I'm supposed to advertise CHI, but let me take off the TPC chair hat to say): Augmented Humans is a really interesting specialized conference that mixes many topics in cutting edge ways (augmentation, haptics, XR, sensory substitution, AI) .. and you can still submit to it!

The creative process in science has its thinking tools, which we all learn eventually. Here are the 12 articles that Martin and I wrote about them, including "It takes two to think" and "A hypothesis is a liability". night-science.org/home/learn/rea… @nightsciencepod @MartinJLercher
