Multisensory Integration

Research Group Multisensory Integration

Welcome to our website!

Our research focuses on the following topics:

👁️👂 Multisensory Dynamics
Mapping how the brain synthesizes the senses to construct reality.

Cognitive Control
Uncovering the neural blueprints of attention and memory.

Clinical Insights
Bridging the gap between neural circuit dysfunction and mental health.

We integrate multimodal neuroimaging (EEG, MEG, MRI) with computational modeling to decode neural processing. Our central research investigates how neural timescale dynamics drive multisensory integration (Senkowski & Engel, 2024, Nature Reviews Neuroscience).

🤝 Interested in collaborating? We’re open to collaboration with academic and industry researchers. We also actively support fellowship applicants, thesis students, and visiting researchers.
