🗝️ Key findings: * Lower amplitudes felt more pleasant and less arousing. * Vibrations on the back were less arousing and more pleasant than on the front or both sides (front and back). * The perceived intensity of vibration seems to play an important role in shaping emotional experiences.

#IASAT in Jena was such a gem! Great to see so many people I met at Festival of Touch & make new connections. I'm looking forward to continuing conversations and building on these connections made. Looking forward to the next conference 🥳🫴🏽 In the meantime, let’s hug more often on Tuesdays 🫂

Briefly, we investigated whether people learn to associate neutral vibration patterns with boredom and stress. If so, would this influence their time perception. Shortly, we showed associatively learned boredom but not stress modulates perceived time.
