BLIP lab attended the International Multisensory Research Forum, held in Pisa, Italy in June. The program was great, with keynote speakers talking about such things as the involvement of the motor system in speech perception, and how to generate out of body experiences in the lab!

BLIP Lab’s Suzy Styles gave a talk about mutlisensory research involving speech sounds and the flavours of chocolate [Abstract]. PhD Student Shang Nan also presented the latest findings from her ongoing research into the multisensory perception of Mandarin vowels, in a poster.

The Conference finished off with the Luminara, Pisa’s annual Festival of Lights, which was a wonderful conclusion to the illuminating science at the meeting.
