Principal Investigator
Zhuanghua Shi (Strongway) leads the Multisensory Perception Lab (MSense) and serves as a faculty member in the Department of Psychology at LMU. Additionally, he holds an associated faculty member at the Graduate School of Systemic Neuroscience (GSN) at LMU. He is also affiliated with NuroImaging Core Unit Munich (NICUM). His research primarily concerns perceptual biases and investigates how context and probability influence learning and perception, as well as the principles of Bayesian interference.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Fredrik Allenmark. With
Siyi Chen became a member of the lab team in late 2018, focusing on the crossmodal contextual learning project. In 2022, she was awarded funding for her independent research project from the German Research Foundation (DFG), which explores the impact of uncertainty on context guidance and suppression mechanisms. She currently holds the position of Junior Researcher in Residence (Center for Advanced Studies) at LMU (2023/24).
PhD Students
Jiao Wu (MSc.)
studied psychology at Peking University and joined the lab in 2021. She is interested in the organization of context-based prior formation in time perception.
Associated members
Hao Yu studied psychology at South China Normal University. Being interested in Stimulus-Response Compatibility (SRC), her research is concerned with the question of whether the irrelevant response dimension could produce the interference effect and if so, what the differences are between the interference effects caused by the irrelevant stimulus and response dimensions. To better understand those questions, she plans to adopt multiple research approaches to investigate the underlying neural mechanisms of two interference effects.
Artyom Zinchenko graduated from Max-Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (Leipzig) in 2016. His
Jimmy Esmaily
studied artificial intelligence and was a researcher at IPM in Iran. He started his Ph.D. in Munich in 2021 with Dr. Bahador Bahrami and Dr. Zhuanghua Shi. He is interested in social decision-making and learning with a focus on computational approaches.
