There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In a paper published in early May at CHI 2021 — the Association for Computing Machinery's Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems — Georgia Tech researchers hypothesized that hearing the heartbeat of another person would increase the listener’s empathic connection with that person. Lead investigator Mike Winters, a recent Georgia Tech Ph.D. graduate of the School of Music, had also worked with School of Psychology Professor Bruce Walker in the latter's Sonification Lab. (Walker is also with the School of Interactive Computing.)
