Sensory & perceptual systems

Researchers in the Sensory & Perceptual Sytems Group aim to investigate and understand human sensory systems and human perception, especially the major communicative senses of vision and hearing, how they work, and how they sometimes go wrong. We do this through psychophysical experiments, computational modelling, theoretical analysis, and brain imaging techniques (MEG & fMRI), and we apply this knowledge to clinical aspects of human perception, including the restoration of hearing through cochlear implants.
