We're pleased to announce the Summerschool 'Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups' (MDIG2026) at MindLabs, Tilburg, NL - 13-17 July 2026.
You can register here for a 5-day in-person summer school at Tilburg University, Research Center for Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, from July 13th-17th (monday to friday), with the theme Multiscale Social Dynamics in Individuals and Groups (MDIG2026). This summer school supported by EnvisionBox.org will feature hands-on tutorials on analysis pipelines from computer science and complexity science, including methods for motion tracking, kinematic and acoustic analysis, empirical mode decomposition, windowed multiscale synchrony analysis, and related approaches. Rather than focusing on a single modality, we will cover several aspects of multimodal communication, including visual, prosodic, and movement-based signals, and examine how these interact across multiple temporal and spatial scales. One dedicated day will focus on methods for data management, masking and anonymizing audiovisual data to ensure privacy protection and GDPR compliance. In addition, participants will work in groups on applied projects throughout the week, culminating in presentations of project progress at the end of the summer school. The goal of the summer school is twofold: first, to familiarize participants with state-of-the-art tools, open solutions, and datasets for multiscale social signal analysis, and second, to critically examine their limitations. By the end of the week, participants will have gained practical skills, new analytical tools, and a deeper understanding of how these methods can be improved to advance research in multimodal behavioral dynamics.
Location
The Netherlands, MindLabs Tilburg University
Fee

Had a great time at SENSS @thesenssdtp.bsky.social conference at Cranfield! Inspiring theme, "Social Sciences Beyond Academia", with great discussions on impact, non-conventional research communication and policy. I also presented my work using head-mounted eye-tracking & ML to study infant learning

Back from Amsterdam, having learned tons about multimodal analyses and computer vision at EnvisionBox Summer School. Huge thanks to the organisers and everyone who made it such a great experience!

𝐃𝐫. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐃𝐨𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 (UEA, School of Psychology) was recently featured in an interview with CBS – and it's gone global!
His new findings challenge long-held beliefs about perception – and show how expertise can literally change what we see.
