Overview

Uta Noppeney is affiliated with the University of Birmingham in the United Kingdom. Their research primarily focuses on areas within neuroscience and psychology, with a significant emphasis on cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology.

Their prominent research topics encompass multisensory perception and integration, olfactory and sensory function studies, visual perception and processing mechanisms, neural dynamics and brain function, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, color perception and design, and neuroscience and music perception.

Frequent collaborators include Samuel A. Jones, Rodika Sokoliuk, Giulio Degano, Lucía Melloni, and Damian Cruse. This network reflects interdisciplinary approaches in exploring sensory and cognitive processes.

Uta Noppeney has published extensively in several venues, with repeated contributions to bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), PLoS Biology, eLife, Journal of Vision, and Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. They have contributed notably to the following papers:

  • Perceptual Inference, Learning, and Attention in a Multisensory World, 2021, Annual Review of Neuroscience
  • Resolving multisensory and attentional influences across cortical depth in sensory cortices, 2020, eLife
  • The role of alpha oscillations in temporal binding within and across the senses, 2022, Nature Human Behaviour
  • Covert Speech Comprehension Predicts Recovery From Acute Unresponsive States, 2020, Annals of Neurology
  • Ageing and multisensory integration: A review of the evidence, and a computational perspective, 2021, Cortex

The scholar's interdisciplinary research bridges neural mechanisms underlying sensory integration with cognitive processes such as attention and learning. Their work on perceptual inference and multisensory attention contributes to understanding how the brain combines information from different sensory modalities.

Studies on ageing and multisensory integration highlight computational perspectives and evidence relevant to age-related changes in sensory processing. The exploration of neural oscillations further informs temporal binding mechanisms within and across sensory systems.

Their research output encompasses both theoretical and applied dimensions of neuroscience, incorporating behavioral and electrophysiological methodologies to investigate sensory and cognitive functions.
