About Us
We are a research group in the Department of Psychology at LMU Munich, studying how the brain makes sense of time, attention, and uncertainty. Our work spans three questions. How does the brain construct the experience of time — and why does it sometimes get it wrong? How do we learn to focus on what matters and ignore what doesn’t? And how does the brain combine prior knowledge with new evidence to form perceptual beliefs?
We approach these questions through behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, and computational modeling — often combining all three. Our team brings together perspectives from experimental psychology, neuroscience, and computational science. If you’re new here, explore our research topics or browse Curious Minds for accessible introductions to what we study.
Zhuanghua Shi
Professor
Prof. Dr. Zhuanghua Shi leads the MSense lab at the Chair of Neuro-Cognitive Psychology, LMU Munich. His research investigates how the brain makes sense of time, space, and uncertainty, how contextual regularities and prior expectations shape attention, and how Bayesian inference underlies perceptual decision-making. The lab combines psychophysics, EEG, fMRI, and computational modeling to study these questions. He is also affiliated with the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences (GSN) and the Neuroimaging Core Unit Munich (NICUM).
