🎉 New paper alert! 🧠 The velocity-curvature power law is one of the 'kinematic laws of nature' (Flash 2021), a 'fundamental law of human control' (Zago et al. 2016), and one of the 'kinematic regularities' (Frith & Frith 2023) thought to underlie all biological motion. 1/9

Oculomotor self-touch induces illusory body ownership pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3689… This is a really interesting study, but I can't help but think that "oculomotor self-touch" is a great euphemism for watching porn

New paper by @davidedeflorio about measuring age-related skin changes and deterioration of tactile spatial acuity to capture performance with a neurophysiological model - doi.org/10.1113/JP283174 @JPhysiol

Skin properties and afferent density in the deterioration of tactile spatial acuity with age

Abstract figure legend We combined measurements of finger properties (1), psychophysics (2) and simulation of first-order tactile neurons (3) to investigate the contribution of peripheral factors to...

Thanks @maxdiluca for organising a day of #BhamXR workshop for all VR/AR researchers yesterday! Was fun showing everyone our set up for visuotactile experiments - changing visual appearances of touch objects in VR & a #lazysusan turntable for presenting stimuli!

I am once again reaching out to #AcademicTwitter to help me do my job… I’m running a workshop titled “is a PhD for me?” for 16-17 year olds. So academics - what is one thing you think they should know about pursuing a PhD? @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter
