SCORE, a collaboration of 865 researchers, is now released as three papers in Nature, six preprints, and a lot of data (cos.io/score/). SCORE examined repeatability of findings from the social-behavioral sciences and tested whether human and automated methods could predict replicability.

Excited to share our new preprint w/@yukoy.bsky.social , Chihiro Hiramatsu, @naotsuchiya.bsky.social & @oizumim.bsky.social ! We present the world’s first empirical evidence supporting that "my red" is "your red", through an unsupervised alignment of color qualia structures at the individual level.
Job alert, please repost.
We are hiring PhD students (engineering, cognitive science etc.) to work with us on brain-machine interfaces in Bochum. Funding for 3 years initially.
Experience with biosignal processing needed.

Years later (and many polygons fewer) we finally ported Becoming Homeless to the Meta Quest for free.

Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival (2017), VHIL's most studied piece on VR empathy. Samples in the 1000s, behavioral measures, longitudinal outcomes months later.
Yep, and that association is quite robust (at least in children/adolescents)! We found it a recentish umbrella review (doi.org/10.1016/j.ne...)
If you do work using VR as a method for experimental psychology, make sure you submit an abstract for our free @exppsychsoc.bsky.social Immersive Virtual Reality to Understand Human Cognition, Perception and Action workshop down in beautiful Exeter

Well study authors finally admit they have no stance on whether measuring more or less "brain activity" within the context of their task measurement is good or bad despite previous quotes about brain health. Pitchforkers can issue their apologies via my venmo.

Hi! I think link's broken... do you know if the preprint was moved somewhere else?
📣 Call for Submissions: VRS Conference 2025!
🗓️ October 20–21 | 📍 Bochum, Germany
🧾 Deadlines: Talks — June 30 | Posters/VR Demos — July 30
Join us to explore cutting-edge developments in extended reality, human cognition, and health at the third edition of VRS!
Lucky you! I dream a lot and regularly keep record of them, but only had 2 lucid ones (in both I started flying and immediately woke up out of excitement)
Nice! Was it a random lucid dream or do you "train" to get them?
Two virtual characters in a simulated office setting. One character, wearing a pink hoodie, is seated with a tablet with the word 'InteVRview' on the display in front of them, while the other character, in a blue shirt, sits across the table, facing them.
Our new paper just dropped: we tested whether people confuse virtual reality with reality.
Spoiler: They do!
Some even tried to sit on virtual chairs.
The full story is now out in iScience: doi.org/10.1016/j.is...

Today is publication day! A new edition of Francisco J. Varela's (long hard-to-obtain) 1979 classic Principles of Biological Autonomy in a new annotated edition by Ezequiel Di Paolo and Evan Thompson, with a Foreword by Amy Cohen Varela. mitpress.mit.edu/978026255140...
I really like this series! Do you have a process for doing these? Do you make a sketch as soon as you wake up? Are they vivid enough so you can recall them anytime?
Reposting this - still looking for more participants! Especially if you (think you) have #aphantasia or #hyperphantasia, we are very interested in hearing from you... Also if you have experience of #prophantasia (cc @kerblooee.bsky.social)

Using virtual reality to "induce Virtual Hallucinations (VH)" to study the Sense of Reality (SoR) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... It looks like they use techniques similar to many horror video games
