How well can video-based methods estimate body kinematics? In my recent paper with @giacomonovembre.bsky.social, we show that accuracy of one such method (OpenPose) varied substantially across subjects & body parts. Interestingly, this accuracy strongly depended on the movement amplitude. t.ly/4Tlnc

Excited to have another paper coming out from my postdoc time with @judithholler.bsky.social ! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... We looked at how visual signals, like facial expressions and hand gestures, are associated with the the amount of linguistic information, in spoken conversations 🧵

Yes, very exciting to have our paper coming online soon! www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy... We looked at how "gesture expressivity" develops over the course of a story telling, and how this gesture expressivity is associated with emotional resonance between storyteller and listener.

The Dutch government wants to cut €1billion to higher education. 20,000 people marched in the Hague today to say NO to this. Very proud to see so many UvA colleagues joining in!

I've started working on a (very incomplete!) starter pack for social interaction researchers! If you're working in this space, please asked to be added (or suggest others)! Meant to be inclusive of many disciplines, methods, interaction types, and types of interacting agents: go.bsky.app/44VAEhU
