Delighted to share our paper on virtual embodiment, just out in Developmental Science. We show that the appearance of a virtual hand affects feelings of ownership for both children and adults. Movement cues interact with this for adults only. For all p’s, short-term training increased embodiment.

AI could consume 40% of all data center electricity by the end of the year and will soon surpass bitcoin mining in power consumption. Companies like Google are revising their net zero greenhouse emissions target dates. www.wired.com/story/new-re...

AI Is Eating Data Center Power Demand—and It’s Only Getting Worse

A new analysis of AI hardware being produced and how it is being used attempts to estimate the vast amount of electricity being consumed by AI.

Really pleased that this paper from my PhD has been published in Nature Scientific Reports! www.nature.com/articles/s41... We used mixed reality to explore how manipulating multisensory integration leads to dis-ownership from the body and how those experiences relate to trait dissociation

Trait dissociation is associated with dissociative experiences arising from disrupted multisensory integration - Scientific Reports

I asked for a permanent job at my current Uni (let’s call it Uni A), was told no, that same morning a job ad came out in Uni B, the next morning another job ad was sent to me for Uni C… years later I am still at Uni B. :-)

What's the moment of luck that's had the biggest impact for your academic career? For me, it was how I wouldn't have gotten a PhD fellowship if it wasn't for the 1st-ranked person declining, which meant that I was awarded the fellowship as 2nd-ranked applicant. That was my last shot at a PhD.
