New paper: AppetiteCheck, at IMWUT (Ubicomp)!
Can vagus stimulation serve as a low-effort intervention for overeating? In our study, participants ate 9.6% less and 23.6% slower during stimulation than sham!
Led by @tangemicioglu & Tanzeem Choudhury (also w/ Jas Brooks & myself as co-authors)

Paper in @tangemicioglu 's website (which I highly recommend checking out, lot's of other awesome ideas besides this one): https://tangemicioglu.com/files/papers/AppetiteCheck_IMWUT_2026.pdf

Image of Tan, eating while wearing vagus stimulator. Photo was created by Pedro Lopes from a video still by Tan Gemicioglu, who is the first and lead author of this work. You can watch the video in Tan's twitter or at https://lab.plopes.org/#VagusStim which links to Tan's twitter.
