Who we are
Principal Investigator
Zhuanghua Shi
Dr. Zhuanghua Shi is the head of the Multisensory Perception Lab (MSense), faculty member of General and Experimental Psychology, and associated faculty member of Graduate School of Systemic Neuroscience. He is interested in how multisensory information and prior knowledge are integrated into perception and decision-making. His research focuses on Bayesian inference and multisensory temporal integration, contextual learning and biases, and human-machine interfaces concerning multimodal feedback delays.
PostDocs
Fredrik Allenmark
Dr. Fredrik Allenmark. With a M.Sc. in Engineering Physics from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, Fredrik explored the spatial resolutions of stereo and motion perception and their neural basis during his PhD in Newcastle University. Before joining the lab, Fredrik worked as a postdoc at the University Paris Descartes. Now he applies Bayesian modeling to investigate sequential effects in visual search.
Ph.D. Students
Yue Ren
Yue Ren (MSc.)
Yue is interested in time perception and how we extract statistical properties of time events in temporal context.
Bing Li (MSc.)
Bing Li (MSc.) joined the lab in 2016 as a Ph.D student. She graduated from School of Mathematics at Nankai University, and School of Information Science and Engineering at Lanzhou University. During her master study, she investigated attention in depressed people using the method that combined EEG and eye-tracking. She got inspired by psychological research and now her research topic is ‘Brain Mechanisms of Attention Allocation in Multisensory Integration’.
Jan Nasemann
Jan Nasemann (MSc.)
Jan investigates how our attention is distributed across sensory modalities using crossmodal search paradigm and EEG techniques.
Lingyue Chen (MSc.)
Lingyue Chen (MSc.)
Time is illusive and can be distorted easily by various context. Lingyue is interested in mechanisms underlying time compression and time expansion, and whether both can be interpreted in a single unified framework.
Bei Zhang (MSc.)
Bei Zhang (MSc.)
Bei got inspired by probablistic learning and how probability-based cueing influence our search performance.
Xiuna Zhu (MSc.)
Xiuna Zhu (MSc.)
With a master in computer science, Xiuna is interested in Bayesian inference in perception, particular on how to use Bayesian inference to explain various contextual modulation.
