Pain, robots & hormones! Our paper on the exciting experiment that combined all three is now out @SciReports. We found that touching the social robot PARO reduced pain perception and salivary oxytocin levels

Dr. Shelly Levy-Tzedek (@LevyTzedek_Lab) from the #physiotherapy Dept. , just won a 2-yr 100,000 NIS grant from the #Ministry of #Health, to study the efficacy of a socially assistive #Robot in post-#stroke #rehabilitation, a topic of increased importance during a pandemic

The keynote talk by @isbellHFh on algorithmic bias at #NeurIPS2020 is UNBELIEVABLE. I don't want to spoil too much, but it's clear many hours went into creating this keynote based on A Christmas Carol, complete with @mlittmancs as Scrooge. slideslive.com/38935825/you-…
If you've never crashed a zoom lecture (different time zone, internal seminar), you haven't lived life to its fullest! Just did, @aiolandaleite's great talk, which explored a variety of ways in which clarity in HRI is key. And Brussels sprouts 🍈

In 1953, David-Ben-Gurion insisted on using the word אישי (my man), instead of בעלי (my Lord), for the weird "husband".
As we mark the International Day Against Violence Towards Women we should adopt the processive thinking of DBG.
Letter found in the DBG Archives at @bengurionu – at Israel

Almost exactly 2 yrs ago, @xz9090 and I started working on a tutorial for researchers in #HRI on running #experiments. ! 🤖🧪 We wanted it to be both accurate and accessible to people new to #experimentaldesign. So happy it is out this week in @ACMDL THRI! doi.org/10.1145/3412374

Academia is just saying “next week things should free up a little and not be so busy” over and over again.

"Assuming that a process such as decision making can be understood by looking at single neurons, or even their ensembles, is like attempting to understand why people in Australia drive on the left side of the road from examination of their DNA"
Absolute 🔥 from @yael_niv:
"Behavioral, rather than neuroscientific research, is essential for understanding the brain, contrary to the opinion of prominent funding bodies and scientific journals, who erroneously place neural data on a pedestal"

The only problem w/ Youtube's x2 speed setting is that I keep getting disappointed I can't use it in a live conversation

She was born in 1933. Think about all she lived through.
RBG never stopped fighting for justice and equality because she never forgot what it was like to be the only person in the room that people thought didn’t belong there.
Skip the blessings. May her memory be a revolution.

A new reading list in @IEEEspectrum features fascinating robotics papers from Black scholars — exploring the fields of robot-assisted medical imaging, wearable robotics, and the design and development of intelligent systems. (via @DrCABerry @hadmoni) spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/…
