Mind Life Institute Summer School 2022 (June 6th - 10th)
I have been accepted to the Mind Life Institute's Summer Research Institute 2022: "Othering, Belonging, and Becoming". The Mind & Life Institute brings science and contemplative wisdom together to better understand the mind and create positive change in the world.
The research institute is a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and immersive opportunity for conversations around humanity’s response to the crisis of disconnection and othering — for researchers, contemplatives, changemakers, and anyone interested in this topic. I will be presenting a poster and talking on my work on meditation in Virtual Reality :) and how we designed a mobile VR experience to support the Loving Kindness Meditation
Eating Disorders and Virtual Reality (May 12th & 13th)
I will be joining the Workshop 'Virtual Reality - Possibilities in Eating Disorder Research'. I will be presenting a demo of my work on the use of Mobile VR for behavioral experiments in-the-wild, and talking about Participatory Design for clinical research.
The workshop will be held partially in English and partially in German in a hybrid format. The opportunity to join online is available! For more info check out the program here: flyer.
TEDxKonstanz 2022 (May 6th)
Infinitely far, and at the same time, infinitely close! I am thrilled to announce my participation in the next TEDxKonstanz 2022. Join me exploring whether VR can help us bridge the distance between one and other, through our new Loving-Kindness Meditation mobile VR experience :).
