Overview
We try to understand how we make sense of the world through our different sensory modalities (vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste etc). Our group purports to study the cognitive and neural mechanisms of the interactions between the senses.
Research directions
- body perception. The role of the different senses in building up the representation of our own body;
- multisensory perception of food. The aim is to study one of the best-known examples of genuinely multisensory experience;
- audiotactile interaction. Audition and touch share a number of similarities that might make this kind of interaction peculiar.
