For example, what we hear can influence what we see, and vice versa. The integration of information from different senses (multisensory integration) is important for efficient interaction with the world around us. Multisensory integration allows better localisation, identification, and faster detection of stimuli in the environment. My research focuses on the principles governing multisensory integration and the maintenance of sensory unity. Utrecht University My research focuses on rehabilitation of stroke patients suffering from attentional and visual deficits including hemispatial neglect and cerebral blindness (hemianopia). Using different psychophysical (e.g. eyetracking) and neuroimaging (e.g. (f)MRI) techniques I try to understand the neural mechanisms that are interrupted in these patients and how interventions can improve their quality of life. My approach is fundamental in nature but often applied in a clinical setting. My aim is to elucidate how the human visual system can recover from stroke and make a significant contribution on healthcare for patients with attentional and visual deficits. Utrecht University I graduated from Hangzhou Normal University (China) and now I work in Stefan’s attention lab. I am interested in visual attention and visual awareness. My toolbox includes Python/R, eye tracking and EEG. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam My research projects all involve cognitive processing and eye movements. Currently I am connected to the Attention Lab as a PhD student. Utrecht University I am interested in visual working memory in general and trans-saccadic memory in particular. I focus on spatial remapping and the relationship and time course between attention (as the distribution of cognitive resources) and memory, as well as the relationship between retinotopic and spatiotopic mapping. My toolbox includes python/Matlab/R, eye tracking, EEG and VR HMD's with eye tracking capability.Stefan Van der Stigchel - Principal Investigator
