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 ...

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.

Joana Leitao
Joana is a visiting PhD student who started at the MPI for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen, Germany, in the Cognitive Neuroimaging Group. She has been a member of the University of Birmingham's Computational Cognitive Neuroimaging Group since 2013.
Joana uses concurrent Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to investigate the role of the parietal cortex in multisensory integration and visual processing.

Dr Remi Gau
Remi is a visiting PhD student from the International Max Planck Research Graduate School of Neural and Behavioural Sciences in Tuebingen, Germany.
His work concentrates on how prior information affects multi-sensory integration. The first part of his PhD looked at how contextual incongruency affects the fusion audio-visual speech information using psychophysics and fMRI. Using seven tesla high-definition fMRI, he am now investigating how attention modulates the fusion of auditory and visual information in different layers of the cerebral cortex.
