Check out our new paper led by Matthew Lee @_DanielJ_ @WLouisUQ and myself on the relationship between habit, toxicity and social identification in video gaming (in DOTA2)!
Winnifred Louis@WLouisUQ5 Dec 2021
authors.elsevier.com/c/1eBSq… Free access till 23 Jan to our new article led by Matt Lee on toxicity, habit, id and videogaming. ID was associated with > play @ T1 & 2. But @ T2, controlling 4 T1 vars, only T1 play was sig. No direct or interactive effects of perceived toxicity found.

Esports athletes have reported using electrical brain stimulation to gain a competitive edge. We show that this form of edoping yielded performance improvements in a response inhibition game. As the popularity of esports grows, implications for regulation are clear. Open access!

Prof Anna L Cox@AnnaCox_24 Feb 2021
In today's lab meeting we reviewed a bunch of 30 second video previews from papers presented at previous @sig_chi conferences. Having listed what worked and what didn't, we came up with a set of top tips
Top Tips for creators of 30 second video previews of academic papers 1. Start and end with title and authors 2. Think of it as a trailer: focus on either the motivation and research question and leave them wondering OR present the main/boldest/surprising finding OR the contributions. 3. Audio – choose narration with subtitles rather than a music backing track 4. Avoid just providing text and expecting the viewer to read it. 5. Watch your speed – don’t speak too fast 6. Include videoclips rather than using a slide deck or still images 7. If your research is about an interface or system include a videoclip of that 8. Get feedback
