"𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠" – Bart’s Journey in Psychology at UT 🧠 “There are so many young people facing mental health challenges, and I want to help them,” says Bart, a Bachelor’s student in Psychology at the University of Twente. Bart’s passion? Using cutting-edge tech like virtual reality to create safe, immersive environments where people can confront their fears and traumas. “Imagine being able to help someone overcome their challenges without leaving the comfort of a controlled setting—that’s the future of psychology, and it’s incredible to be part of it,” he shares. Bart’s journey at UT has taught him that psychology is not just about finding solutions—it’s about listening, understanding, and being there for others when they need it most. ❤️ 💡 Curious about where a degree in Psychology can take you?

🤖 Een robot die vragen van patiënten kan beantwoorden? Afgelopen zondag 8 september stond onze stagiaire Daan van Gorssel samen met THE BMS LAB | University of Twente op de Singelloop in Enschede. Hij presenteerde hier samen met Harald Vonkeman en Jan-Willem van 't Klooster de sociale robot of ook wel 'Romy de reumatologie robot' genoemd. Deze robot, uitgerust met de nieuwste versie van ChatGPT, helpt patiënten met artrose en SLE door vragen te beantwoorden over hun ziektebeeld, medicatie en levensstijl. Door gebruik te maken van vooraf bepaalde, geverifieerde bronnen, biedt de robot betrouwbare informatie. In zijn experimenten test Daan de robot met zowel patiënten als zorgverleners, waarbij hij let op bruikbaarheid, effectiviteit, en acceptatie van de robot in de zorg. #AI #SLE #artrose #reuma #singelloop #robot

Aftermovie! Just before summer, at University of Twente we organised the National XR Day together with SURF, Saxion XR Lab and THE BMS LAB | University of Twente. A vibrant day with over 400 visitors (and an O&O square filled with VR trucks, see earlier posts). Relive the energy and watch the aftermovie here!

Can large-scale, multimodal hyperscanning experiments be carried out in the real world? Under the EFRO funded ALERT project, ANT Neuro had the opportunity to collaborate with industry and University partners to explore effects of inter brain synchrony in a classroom of #20 students during interactive and passive learning blocks. This pioneering attempt to measure EEG and fNIRS simultaneously in a meaningful setting was made possible by multiple industry leaders and research partners working together. The promising results offer insights to enhance operational safety and performance factors in any classroom or collaborative setting.

The BMS Lab has expanded, with the new Instructions lab and a flex office. The new Instructions Lab, LA 2516, has sufficient seating for a group of 40, a large screen and a projector, suitable for presentations, tutorials, workshops and lectures. The Instructions lab soon will be available for reservations through Outlook. For BMS employees from Capitool who are looking for a workplace on campus, because they are, for example, in between meetings, The BMS Lab provides the flex-space in the Head of Langezijds, LA1508. This space has three desks that can be used for working and is equipped with screens and docking stations. The space cannot be reserved in advance (full = full) and access can be obtained by reporting to Langezijds 1501. So if you are looking for a temporary workplace at the UT, you are most welcome!
