Grant Description

The aim the PhD is to understand the role of neural oscillations to combine visual and auditory information during multisensory perception, and the formation of subsequent memories across species.

The student will develop equivalent experimental paradigms combining AV stimuli presentation with electroencephalogram recording in human and non-human primates.

The PhD programme will advance understanding in two species for translating neuroscientific information to humans, and potentially lead to better target brain rhythms with neurostimulation to improve impaired memory.
