Brain dynamics of top-down control on crossmodal congruency (B04)

• Subject Area: Biological Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience ; Human Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience
• Term: since 2016
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 261402652

The primary goal of the project is to investigate specific temporal and spatial neural mechanisms of top-down control over audiovisual congruency, integration and rule learning, utilizing behavioural, EEG, MEG and fMRI recordings. Specifically, the project aims to (1) examine how top-down executive control dynamically modulates multimodal conflict processing; (2) identify the role of top-down control in crossmodal information integration; and (3) explore how crossmodal perceptual priors influence top-down control of intrinsic rule learning.
