Perceptual Psychology
In the perceptual psychology lab, we investigate how humans see, hear, smell or perceive their own bodies.
We are interested in the fundamental principles of how people process external and internal stimuli into a subjective perceptual impression of their environment or their body.
We also investigate the neuronal basis of perception, i.e. the question of how our brain represents and processes stimuli in different sensory modalities. One research focus is on multisensory perception: How do humans combine sensory stimuli from different sensory modalities to form a coherent perception of the environment? How does our brain integrate stimuli that are initially processed in independent sensory channels and brain regions? You can find out more about our research here.
We were honored to be part of Long Night of Science (Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften) once again and to share our latest insights with so many curious visitors.
From fascinating tricks of perception to social media research, we brought along several experiments for our audience!

Doctoral Position in Perceptual Psychology
We are seeking a dedicated doctoral student for an exciting new project that investigates how the brain integrates audiovisual sensory information to form a unified multisensory perception of our environment.

Last week, our doctoral student Celine Fleischmann took part in the PuG in Würzburg!
She presented a poster about "The Interplay of Attention and Causal Inference in Audiovisual Perception".
It was a lot of fun to connect through science and take part in all the interesting discussions surroun...
On March 13, 2025, Tim Rohe will give a talk at the "Bonn Melbourne Seminar in Decision Making and Computational Psychiatry." He will present on the topic: "Multisensory Causal Inference in Cortical Hierarchies and its Alterations in Schizophrenia."
