MSense September 17th – 23rd, 2023
Beijing China
Welcome to the Sino-German Bi-lateral symposium on Multisensory Processing, Neural Mechanisms, and Applications that will take place in Beijing, China, from September 17th to 23rd, 2023, cohosted by Zhuanghua Shi from LMU Munich and Lihan Chen from Peking University.
The symposium is sponsored by Sino-German Center for Science (CDZ), jointed funded by German Research Foundation (DFG) and Chinese National Natural Science Foundation (NSFC). The symposium’s main objective is to encourage Chinese and German scientists to collaborate and share the latest advancements in multisensory research. Up to this point, we have secured approximately forty scientists who will be contributing their talks to the symposium.
