Visual, Auditory and Sensory Neuroscience
The Institute has particular strengths in visual and auditory neuroscience, conducting work in both human and animal models (including invertebrates). Visual neuroscience covers visual attention, eye movements, colour vision, and various features of visual perception, while auditory neuroscience has focussed on the processing of complex sounds, including music, speech and affective sounds. Research is also conducted in particular clinical groups both to help understand normal sensory processing and to determine the cause of the disorders. Sensory neuroscience encompasses a number of other modalities, including olfaction and pain.
