Prof.dr. Uta Noppeney
The Faculty of Science at Radboud University appoints Uta Noppeney as Professor of Systems Neuroscience at the Donders Institute. Her research investigates how the brain enables us to perceive, understand and interact effectively with the multisensory world around us. For instance, when crossing a busy road our senses are bombarded with myriads of diverse signals: a sparkling bike passing by, the looming noise of an approaching truck, the smell of traffic fumes.The effortless ease with which we merge these signals into a seamless percept masks the complexity of the computations and neural mechanisms involved.
