On Friday, September 26th, 2025, i_mBody Lab will once again participate in the European Researchers’ Night at UC3M as part of the “Noche Europea de las Investigadoras e Investigadores de Madrid” event in Spain.
This year, our lab will present “Hackear los sentidos: Experiencias de transformación del cuerpo con wearables” (Hacking the Senses: Body Transformation Experiences with Wearables) at the UC3M Madrid Campus – Puerta de Toledo Auditorium from 7:30 PM to 9:00 PM.
During this interactive session, we’ll explore how our body perception influences movement, environmental and social interactions, and health. Our team will demonstrate how we use wearable technologies to create Body Transformation Experiences that can change people’s perception of their body and subsequently impact their behavior, emotion, and health.
Attendees will discover our interdisciplinary approach that combines neuroscience, human-computer interaction, engineering, and AI, alongside our innovative participatory design thinking and embodied methods inspired by theatrical techniques. Most importantly, participants will have hands-on opportunities to experiment with our latest prototypes and reflect on their potential applications in health, wellness, and design.
European Researchers’ Night continues to be a vital scientific outreach initiative promoted by the European Commission as part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions under the Horizon Europe program. Since 2005, this event has connected researchers with the public across nearly 400 European cities simultaneously, making science accessible and engaging for all.
