- Does anyone have any good book recommendations on social media? Scope can be anything - historical, technical, political - just looking to understand what's out there
- Travelling down from a very chilly Newcastle for the Experimental Psychology Society meeting over the next few days - come check out my poster on VR go-go arms on Thursday!

I've got a fully-funded PhD studentship open at @birkbeckpsychology.bsky.social, investigating social learning about metacognition & awareness, w/ behavioural studies & neuroimaging (fMRI) - thanks to @leverhulme.ac.uk More details here: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DPV831/p... #cogsci #neuroskyence - Reposted by Jamie MoffattDid you know that from tomorrow, Qualtrics is offering synthetic panels (AI-generated participants)? Follow me down a rabbit hole I'm calling "doing science is tough and I'm so busy, can't we just make up participants?"
- Paywalled, but the gist is that teenagers (and younger children) using VR more and more - driven by black Friday sales, headsets seen as a good Christmas gift, and lots of social free-to-play apps like Gorilla Tag, UG, VRchat www.theverge.com/column/84235...
- #embodiment or #bodyrepresentation researchers - are there any standardised instructions or procedures for describing or showing embodiment concepts like body ownership/dis-ownership, agency etc. to participants? Any resources would be helpful! @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social
- We're finding that many participants don't quite get what we mean by sense of body ownership / agency and related concepts, and want to put everyone on same page before a VR body manipulation - curious if anything standardised is already out there!

- Really enjoyed speaking at #imrf2025 today on some of our findings showing changes to embodiment and reach kinematics after use of an extendable VR arm @imrf.bsky.social
- Reposted by Jamie MoffattWe’ve opened the call for @britishacademy.bsky.social postdoctoral fellowships. We provide three years of funding for early career researchers in the humanities and social sciences to complete a significant piece of publishable research www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/post...
- Had a lovely time in Utrecht - what a beautiful city. Thanks #BRNet2025! I look forward to carrying on some of the discussions back in Durham at IMRF in a couple of weeks time
- Reposted by Jamie MoffattAttending the #BRNet2025 Conference in Utrecht, Netherlands. Will be presenting my work on interoception in autism tomorrow. Come and say hi!
- Reposted by Jamie MoffattCan #BRNet2025 answer the cartographer / tuner question? If you're in Utrecht in the next few days and even if you're not coming, feel free to share and, most of all, comment! @bodyrepnetwork.bsky.social thomaschazelle.fr/en/the-carto...
- On my way to Utrecht for #BRnet2025! Excited to catch up with old friends and make some new ones.
- On Friday I'll be presenting a poster describing some of the great research by @dorothycowie.bsky.social and Leif Johanssen investigating how children and adults adapt to an extendable arm in VR, along with our future plans to expand on that work
- Reposted by Jamie MoffattJob alert! We are recruiting at the Centre for the Politics of Feelings (www.politics-of-feelings.com) for a post-doc interested in emotions & politics. A focus on the relation between health & politics is highly desirable. Info: jobs.london.ac.uk/Job/JobDetai... Deadline 11th July. Please share!

- 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
- Reposted by Jamie MoffattI’m advertising for a 3.5yr fully-funded PhD position at the lovely Sussex Uni.
