Temporal Correspondence & Audio-Visual Multisensory Integration. (360G-Wellcome-082881_Z_07_Z)

The proposed PhD will utilise temporally rich auditory and visual stimuli to obtain a better understanding of the constraints placed upon human perception of temporal correspondence between multisensory inputs, and the impact of this on multisensory integration and on neural responses for both heteromodal and modality-specific brain regions. Psychophysical techniques will be used to investigate how temporal information transmitted in one modality may be used to parse matching stimuli from multiple trains in another modality. fMRI and MEG will identify brain regions and responses involved in such processes.
