To promote climate action, emotion takes precedence over information.
A study conducted by Professor Tobias Brosch's group at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) analyzed the effectiveness of communication strategies aimed at encouraging climate action. The team examined 71 studies, covering data from 216,000 participants, to determine which approaches best motivate people to...
Real-time feedback for better control of human-machine interfaces
Human-computer interfaces are playing an increasingly important role in motor rehabilitation. Therapeutic games, virtual reality, and robotic prostheses require users to precisely control movement based on sometimes incomplete information. Holding an object without dropping or crushing it, for example, requires continuously adjusting one's force...
