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 ...

Steffen Bürgers is undertaking doctoral research into multisensory perceptual decision-making in the auditory and visual domains. He analyses electroencephalography and psychophysics data, and applies computational modeling techniques to uncover the dynamics of cross-modal perceptual decision-making.

Giulio Degano is undertaking doctoral research into perception and sensory integration by measuring local activity and brain connectivity. He is using a combination multimodal neuroimaging data (EEG and fMRI) in order to understand cognitive processing and the role of various neuronal mechanisms.

Patrycja is a PhD student in Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group. Her research concentrates on audio-visual integration. She investigates the role of context in perception of ventriloquist illusion.

Ambra is currently undertaking her PhD in the Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group (Supervisor: Professor Uta Noppeney). Her doctoral research focuses on the interplay between multisensory perception and attention both in healthy control subjects and in clinical populations with perceptual and attentional deficits (e.g. hemianopia and neglect patients).

She is developing psychophysics and ...

Sam is undertaking doctoral research, funded by the MRC-ARUK Centre for Musculoskeletal Ageing Research, into multisensory integration in older populations. He uses neuroimaging and psychophysics to investigate the changes to sensory processing that occur with age, and is interested in how these changes can be mediated by exercise.

Alexandra's main research interest is how the brain represents information that is processed by different sensory modalities and how it combines this information into a unified percept. In Alexandra's doctoral research she is investigating interactions between the auditory and visual modalities in the perceptual processing hierarchy using functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Psychophysics.

David Meijer is undertaking doctoral research into the neural integration of simultaneous input from multiple sensory modalities. He combines psychophysics and electroencephalography (EEG) techniques in order to study brain activity related to audio-visual integration.

David is especially interested in the role of neural oscillations in multisensory perception and awareness.

Agoston’s research focuses on the neural mechanisms of multisensory integration. He is using psychophysics, fMRI and Bayesian modeling to investigate how people perceive and adapt to their environment in the ventriloquist illusion.

Martin is a PhD student in the Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group. He is using functional imaging and computational modelling in order to study various multisensory integration phenomena.

Arianna is a PhD student in the Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group (Prof. Uta Noppeney). Her doctoral research concentrates on the role of attention and awareness in multisensory processes.

She is using psychophysics to investigate multisensory interactions in stroke survivors with hemineglect, extinction and hemianopia.

She is using psychophysics and functional Magnetic Resonance ...
