The 23rd International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) will take place in Durham (UK) from 15th -18th July 2025, bringing together researchers from Europe and overseas who specialize in the study of multisensory integration. The forum aims to advance the understanding of how the nervous system processes information from multiple sensory modalities to inform perception and … Read more
Within the BBSRC EastBio DTP, we are recruiting for a project entitled “When Timing Matters: Exploring Synchrony of Multisensory Signals in Real and Online Environments”. To extend the reach of this research, we are collaborating with the industrial partner Open Science Tools Ltd. to conduct online experiments. Please see the full project description on our … Read more
Responses to multisensory signals are often faster compared to their unisensory components. This speed-up is typically attributed to target redundancy in that a correct response can be triggered by one or the other signal. In addition, semantic congruency of signals can also modulate multisensory responses; however, the contribution of semantic content is difficult to isolate … Read more
With Ines Jentzsch, we invite applications for a BBSRC EastBio PhD project on “Testing computational principles of multisensory integration in Synaesthesia”. See further details under opportunities, or on FindAPhD. Please get in contact to discuss your interests, the application deadline is on Monday, November 27, 2023.
The 21th International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) brings together experts in multisensory research from Europe and overseas in Brussels, Belgium. We will present work on “The associative property holds for combination of auditory, visual, and tactile signals in multisensory decisions” (#029, 27th June, 19-22 pm) and on “Semantic congruency modulates the speed-up of multisensory responses” … Read more
Fantastic news….. Andrew Chua has passed his PhD viva, only subject to minor corrections. Excellent perfomance, very well done!
The 20th International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) brings together experts in multisensory research from Europe and overseas in Ulm, Germany. We will present work on “Parsing response times in multisensory decisions: the effect of signal strength and effector organ” on Tuesday afternoon (Session “Time, Space and Motion”, 3:15-4:45pm).
Looming motion is an ecologically salient signal that often signifies danger. In both audition and vision, humans show behavioral biases in response to perceiving looming motion, which is suggested to indicate an adaptation for survival. However, it is an open question whether such biases occur also in the combined processing of multisensory signals. Towards this … Read more
A big welcome to Kalvin Roberts, who joined the lab as a PhD student. Kalvin is funded by an EastBio fellowship sponsored by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
Fantastic news….. Serena (Yue) Liu has just passed her PhD viva, only subject to minor corrections. Excellent perfomance, very well done!
