This work has gotten quite a bit of coverage in UK (see article below). If you're in Scotland🏴, tune in for News at Seven on @BBCScotland tonight to hear me speak about conversational facial expressions.

Same word. Same voice. Different meaning. 👀
When you answer a question, your face can change how confident your answer seems — even when the words and voice stay the same.
Our new study (@royalsociety Proc B) maps exactly which facial movements do it. 🧵

In conclusion, the face isn't just along for the ride in conversation. Facial movements actively shape how we interpret spoken responses — showing that understanding speech is about more than words and voice alone.

How does the architecture of a city shape the way we think, talk, and draw space? And how do spatial conventions travel across cultural generations? New paper in Open Mind: direct.mit.edu/opmi/article/… #openaccess @fusaroli @jonasnoelle

Excited to share our preprint! w/@martin_hebart
To understand how primates visually process objects in the world, we rely on both research in human and macaque IT. But what representations of object space are actually shared between them?

By combining rigorous exp control with the ecological validity of immersive, multimodal 3D envs, #VR lets us investigate real-world communicative behaviour (bilingual language switching, predictive processing, social presence, gesture etc) in ways traditional paradigms cannot.

Been having a lot of fun with the Varjo XR-3 at CLES! Curious: has anyone done #eyetracking with it through #Unity ?
#VR #Unity3D #gamedev
Thought we were asleep, didn't you? 😅 No, we have been conducting a new study using VR. 💻🤓More info in a few weeks! Stay tuned for #science! @antonijordanz @jonasnoelle @CenterImsert @UMK_Torun
