   First publication Recently, we presented first scientific results of the DOC-Stim project at the 23rd HCI International Conference, HCII 2021  HCII 2021 conference . We were working hard on improving vibrotactile communication for DOC patients and tested in on healty controls. I can't await using it with DOC patients!
