Researchers involved with Michigan Tech’s Mind MusicMachine Lab were interviewed by reporter Allison Mills for a podcast in Distillations Magazine. The magazine is an online publication of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, which is a library, museum, and center for scholars.

The interview occupies about the first 12 minutes of Episode 198: Old Brains, New Brains: The Human Mind, Past and Present.

The interviewees for that segment include:

• Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon, Assistant Professor, Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Computer Science, Michigan Tech
• Steven Landry, Graduate Student, Applied Cognitive and Human Factors Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Michigan Tech
• Bruce Walker, Professor, Psychology, Interactive Computing, Georgia Tech

Assistant Professor Myounghoon “Philart” Jeon (CLS/CS) presented a research paper, “Embarrassment as a divergent thinking process for creative arts in the immersive virtual environment,” at the Workshop on Embarrassing Interactions of ACM SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI’15) in Seoul, Korea.

About 25 students from Michigan Tech attended the 2nd annual Upper Peninsula Interdisciplinary Student Research Conference (UPISR) on April 21, 2015. This year’s event, which took place at Northern Michigan University (NMU) at Marquette, was sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences at NMU and the Department of Psychology at NMU.

The 2015 conference was a continuation to collaborative efforts between Michigan Tech and NMU, focused on student research in human and behavioral sciences. It also witnessed the diversity of areas that include psychology, human factors, education, human effectiveness, human-centered design, social science, kinesiology, neuroscience, and other related fields.

Undergraduate and graduate students from both universities gave oral and poster presentations.
