We are pleased to announce our team's participation in the International Communication Association (ICA) Conference 2025, currently taking place in Denver, United States.

During one of the sessions, dr Karolina Brylska and prof. Jacek Wasilewski presented their presentation titled "How to make failure more bearable: People’s emotional reactions to compliments given by a bot". Ms. Agata Kostrzewa also co-authored this presentation.

Furthermore, we are delighted to note that prof. Chad Edwards from Georgetown University chaired the session. We are also planning to co-author a monograph with Prof. Edwards in the near future, with one chapter dedicated to our laboratory's research activities. This monograph will be published by Palgrave Macmillan, and further details will be announced soon.

During the conference, we also had the opportunity to visit the booth of iMotions, a software provider for our biometric research. This visit allowed us to familiarize ourselves with the latest functionalities of their solutions and discuss their potential application in our ongoing research projects.
