Exhibitors

We are pleased to welcome our exhibitors, who will demonstrate their latest equipment and ideas in tactile research. The demonstrations will be available between 12-2pm on the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and the exhibitors will also be around to answer questions. Our exhibitors are:

Dancer Design 

Innovation in electronics

Dancer Design is a small electronic engineering company based in Ingleton, North Yorkshire, England. We specialise in tactile stimulators and MRI-compatible devices for neuroscience and psychology research. We have a growing number of standard products, including the PTS system, the only MRI-compatible vibrotactile stimulator on the market that meets psychophysical standards of frequency and displacement measurement. We also build devices to order and work closely with customers to make sure that the equipment we deliver meets their needs. Chris Dancer from Dancer Design will demonstrate the latest in touch and vibrotactile equipment.

BodySense Platform

BodySense: a collaborative research platform for development of simple, open source and replicable somatosensory research tools

The BodySense research platform is a technical resource which provides somatosensory researchers with simple tools for use in touch experiments, as well as for examining the other senses further, such as in proprioceptive, vestibular, visual, and auditory research. The platform provides collaborative support for the development of tools that provide stimulation and quantify behavior in a variety of sensory modalities. The focus of the platform is production of simple, affordable and open-source tools. Our equipment includes the open design of 3D printed components that can be made with simple integrated sensors and stimulators. These devices can be readily duplicated and incorporated into a system that allows for the precise synchronization of the stimulators and recordings with particular expertise in compatibility physiological measures with critical timing requirements (EEG, EMG, and neural activity, such as in microneurography) as well as co-ordinated behavioral video capture.

NeuroMarseille

Aix-Marseille University Institute of Neuroscience

NeuroMarseille brings together 9 research laboratories and the graduate school in neuroscience, NeuroSchool, to increase the attractiveness of the university, international collaborations, interdisciplinarity, links with the clinical and industrial worlds and the integration of students into professional life. Originally launched in July 2018, NeuroSchool unifies and harmonizes the training of the third year of the Bachelor of Life Sciences (Neuroscience track), the Master's and the PhD in Neuroscience.

NeuroMarseille connects the different approaches of neuroscience from the molecular to the most integrative and cognitive levels as well as other fields of excellence within AMU (immunology, developmental biology, psychology…). By relying on the complementary scientific, clinical and technological skills of our teams, our research is mainly focused on 4 major questions:

• How does the brain develop to achieve the highest cognitive functions?
• What are the multi-scale dynamics of neural networks in the healthy and diseased brain?
• How can we tackle the mechanisms involved in ageing, neurodegenerative diseases and damage to the nervous system?
• How can we study the evolution of behaviours and their neural bases?
