EDIA XR toolbox for research has been released.

We want to provide support for onboarding users and contributors and have planned a `meet the devs` session on the 21th of November 2025 from 16.00 - 18.00.

This will be hosted on zoom, contact us via bluesky or email for the link.

See you there?

Preparing for launch 🚀

👉 See edia-toolbox.github.io for details.

🚨 Come work with us! A 3-year postdoc position is available in my group, focusing on gaze interactions in real and virtual environments. The job ad is only in German, since a certain level of German proficiency is required. Please share widely! @biodgps-dgpa.bsky.social

If you‘re working with XR in the context of research and happen to be at #PuG2025 – I suggest you drop by at my poster about our EDIA toolbox @ediatoolbox.bsky.social .
Let’s chat, connect, collaborate. Not in the area? Check out the poster below and reach out digitally: edia-toolbox.github.io

We are excited to be headed to Würzburg for "Psychologie und Gehirn" #PuG2025! Follow along for updates and behind-the-scenes from the MBE group 📣

Curious to know what we'll present? Open the thread below for when and where to find us 👇

What a nice first time to publicly speak about EDIA (@ediatoolbox.bsky.social).
#VSS2025 is just amazing once more and has such a great crowd to discuss scientific XR & eye tracking with.

Thanks @thefirstfloor.bsky.social for all the work behind the scenes in the trenches of Unity.

🧵 1/5 Excited to share our latest @joss-openjournals.bsky.social 🧪 #paper:

UnfoldSim.jl

New @julialang.org package to simulate continuous event-based time series for #EEG & beyond!

With @judithschepers.bsky.social, Luis Lips & Maanik Marathe

We centralized our open-science contributions in a new "Tools & Software" section on our website; check out

- open stimuli (eg. 3D objects)
- open data (eg. MindBrainBody)
- tools (eg. excite-o-meter, AffectTracker)
- analysis scripts
- & more

We are happy to share our new paper (under review) on human face perception!

In this study, we investigated how face similarity judgments are affected by dynamic 3D vs. static 2D conditions 🗿.

Title: The influence of stimulus eccentricity on short-term memory-related EEG components in virtual reality setups.

Talk-Session: Friday, 12:45, Small Auditorium
@flxklotz.bsky.social

Part of an exciting symposium about how to use VR to investigate memory processes.

We are coming to Psychologie und Gihirn 2024 (PUG) in Hamburg! Come chat with us! See the some teezers in the comments 💬 #PuG2024

Students of psychology, neuroscience, or similar in the Berlin area: we are currently looking for Student Research Assistants to help with all things EEG, fMRI, eye-tracking, and other fun stuff in our lab at MPIB Berlin #neuroscience #neurosykence #PsychSkySci

We're pleased to share a long-in-the-making study examining the perceived distance to threatening objects ➡️🕷️across the cardiac cycle🫀. With: @flxklotz.bsky.social @alxndrmlk.bsky.social ~V. Sahula ~B. Darmova ~C. Byrnes ~I. Fajnerova & @mgblr.bsky.social

Are you conducting experiments in #VirtualReality?

Sometimes one wants to present a virtual copy of a lab/room that is exactly aligned to the real room (think of spatial audio, haptic interactions,...)

We've just released a plugin (#UnrealEngine) that helps ypu with exact this
