Title of PhD: The interplay between multisensory integration and awareness

Supervisor: Professor Uta Noppeney

Máté is undertaking his doctoral research into the effect of awareness on multisensory integration. He is using psychophysics, EEG and Bayesian modeling to investigate how different sensory inputs are integrated in the brain and how this integration is modulated by awareness.

Qualifications

Medical Doctor, University of Szeged
