INTRODUCTION

Traditionally, the five classic senses of vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste have been studied in isolation by psychological and neuroscientific researchers. However, in the last few years, numerous examples of crossmodal interactions have been documented. This research has emphatically shown that even early sensory processing within a single sense is modulated by information in and attention towards the other senses.

We are studying the integration of information across the sense modalities using a variety of paradigms and techniques. This exciting area of research is changing the way we view our senses, and contributing important new insights to the understanding of the brain.

We are always looking for volunteers to participate in our research studies [find out more].
