Overview
At the Cognition Across the Senses lab we study the role of multisensory processes in perception, attention, space representation and language. We combine methods from psychophysics, neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience (EEG, MEG, fMRI) to investigate primarily cognition in profoundly deaf individuals, hard-of-hearing people and cochlear implant and hearing aid users.
Research directions
- multisensory perception and re-learning of auditory space in hearing and hearing-impaired individuals;
- language processing with deaf people with or without cochlear implants;
- visual attention in deafness.
