Prof. Dr. Mark W. Greenlee held the Chair of General Psychology I and Research Methods at the Institute of Psychology at the University of Regensburg until October 2022. Since then, Prof. Dr. Mark W. Greenlee supervises the Multisensory Research Group at the Institute of Psychology. He investigates visual and vestibular perception during self-motion and visual disorders. His research methods include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the measurement of eye movements.
