EXPRESSO Tasting April 9, 2024
9pm CST, 3pm CEST, 7am MDT

Aalto University starts the round of introductions of the EXPRESSO organizational members. There will be a short introduction of the university, after which we delve into examples of recent experience research.

Aalto University was established as an innovation university, where art and science meet technology and business. Aalto saw experience research a cross-cutting theme in several schools, and facilitated collaboration through Experience Platform. It was this collaboration platform that organized the first 7 Experiences Summit in 2020, which then led to the establishment of Experience Research Society.

In this Tasting event, some examples of experience research from different schools of Aalto are introduced, and discussion is facilitated around what and how different disciplines can learn from each other.

Department of Design – Virpi Roto will open the event and discuss remote work experiences of design teams:

Department of Information and Communications Engineering – After hard work, we in Finland go to sauna. Tim Moesgen shares his explorations into the heat experiences in sauna:

Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering – It is said that love cannot be measured objectively. Mikko Sams discusses the possibilities to evaluate love and other experiences in brain and behavior, e.g., as shown in this recent publication:
