Monday is deadline for my fully-funded PhD with Stephen Brewster for UK students to study brain basis of VR cybersickness. For details see: findaphd.com/phds/project/t… @CCNi_UofG @UofGSciEng @UofGPsychNeuro

What sets experts apart from novices when viewing surveillance footage? New work by Peng, Burling, Todorova, Neary, Pollick, and Lu uses eye-tracking and machine-learning analyses to take a closer look. Post by @hannah_mech #psynomPBR bit.ly/3y3S76i

I'll be giving a talk at Pint of Science Glasgow on the 14th of May. Here scientists present their work in a relax and entertaining way to the public, always a good laugh and a fun night out. If you wanna see me (or other presenters) tickets are below :) pintofscience.co.uk/event/roborevo…

Deadline coming soon for a new fully-funded PhD in robotic social touch with Stephen Brewster in Computing Science. See sgsss.ac.uk/studentship/so… @UofGPsychNeuro @CCNi_UofG @UofG_cSCAN

Deadline extended to 4 March! Human Interactions with cyber-physical systems. We have a keynote by Jonathon Hill, Global Lead for Virtual Marketing at Rolls Royce. We also have a multidisciplinary field of speakers from Law, Psychology, Marketing, Robotics and Engineering.

A few more days til the submission deadline for our workshop on 16 April sponsored by WTW. Happy to announce our keynote by Jonathon Hill, Global lead for Virtual Manufacturing at Rolls Royce. @UofGPsychNeuro @UofGSciEng @UofGI @UofGMVLS

Great start to @Neurotrauma #Austin with open public session. Great questions to field

Excited to be sharing the first experiment of my PhD, Social Intelligence Towards Human-AI Teambuilding at #AAAI23 @RealAAAI. The work is coauthored by @FrankPollick and recieved support from @QumodoAI. Naturally I had to bring the unofficial @Social__AI ambassador!

Supporting research in @GlasgowCS today: Wearing eye tracker for my commute, taking part in @SABrewster study on how cyclists communicate non-verbally with other road users.

Great work by Gang Li on using neurostimulation to mitigate VR cybersickness. Thanks to @RoyalSocEd for funding. @UofGMVLS @UofGSciEng @UofG_CfN @UofG_SciEng_IAA @UofGPsychNeuro @CCNi_UofG

Happy to share the good news that our cybersickness paper is selected as the feature article on the topic Sensor Informatics in the latest issue of IEEE J-BHI. Please check out here: embs.org/jbhi/articles/…

@HenryMusto Even back in the day you were an undergrad there was a preference for participants, but "subjects" is not strictly wrong and some fields/people still use it, while some outlets effectively forbid it. Probably you can see the change reflected in APA writing guidance.

So I have encountered a few comments on my writing saying that it is not really the done thing anymore to call volunteers on a study, 'subjects' and we should instead be calling them 'participants'. Can anyone explain to me why this shift in terminology occurred?

@VictoriaCoren My entry, can't anyone have any fun with a chainsaw anymore?

Is there any kind of competition, does anyone know, for nationwide least jolly sign?

@ArthurPersichet go Philly!

@FrankPollick Philly!

New from the lab: Social deficits are a transdiagnostic deficit – angiotensin antagonist #losartan can shift social #reward and #punishment via #VTA #striatum connections with prefrontal regions. Big congrats to @StephenXinQZ tinyurl.com/6bbvx9p8

@aina_puce Otherwise limited opportunities to feel so good about wearing his cowboy hat?
