[koglist] [CDC Seminars] CogSci CEU Departmental Colloquium: May 22, Wednesday: Brigitte Roeder (Universitat Hamburg)-Developmental and adult plasticity of multisensory functions

Reminder: The CEU Department of Cognitive Science cordially invites you to a talk (as part of its Departmental Colloquium series) by Prof. Brigitte Roeder Universitat Hamburg Date: Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - 17:00 - 18:30 Location: Department of Cognitive Science, CEU, Frankel Leó út 30-34., Room G15 "Developmental and adult plasticity of multisensory functions“ Recent data have suggested that the development of multisensory functions follows a protracted developmental time course. One example is the spatial matching of crossmodal input. Spatial functions necessary for crossmodal matching seem to emerge in mid and late childhood. They depend on visual input and their development is incomplete if vision is missing during the first years of life. These results point towards sensitive phases for the development of multisensory functions at least if crossmodal matching is based on spatial congruency. However, due to changes of the sensory systems, the body and the environment, it is important that adults are able to recalibrate their multisensory representations as well. Evidence for the neural mechanisms of adult crossmodal recalibration and context dependent adaptation will be presented. We're looking forward to see you there (Frankel Leo u. 30-34) !
