Research at the Multisensory RG

The Multisensory Research Group at the Institute of Psychology at the University of Regensburg investigates the behaviour, experience and neuronal mechanisms of human perception. Several sensory systems are analysed both separately and in interaction with each other. In addition to basic mechanisms, clinical disorders of perception are also investigated. Various research methods are adopted.

Cortical reconstruction of a human brain with functional activation

Examination situation with tactile stimulation

Research Projects
The Multisensory Research Group investigates various sensory systems. These are:
visual perception
vestibular perception
somatosensory (including proprioceptive) perception
auditory perception
olfactory perception
and others
The sensory systems are analysed both separately and in interaction with each other. In addition to basic mechanisms, clinical disorders of perception are also investigated.
Research Methods
The Multisensory Research Group uses various research methods. These include:
magnetic resonance imaging (structural, functional, diffusion-weighted, ...)
eye movement measurement
neck muscle vibration
virtual reality head mounted displays (virtual reality head mounted displays)
caloric vestibular stimulation
olfactory stimulation
psychophysics
questionnaires
Cooperations

The Multisensory Research Group cooperates with several research groups at the University of Regensburg and other research institutions in Germany and abroad.
