Multisensory Integration and Modulation lab (MIM)
What’s our goal?
The Multisensory Integration and Modulation (MIM) lab strives to:
- Control human brain activity with sensory and electrical stimulation, and
- Utilize this control to:
- Identify brain-activity patterns enabling specific sensory, cognitive, and motor functions
- Support these functions in health and disease
We use the following methods:
- Multisensory stimulation
- Auditory
- Tactile
- Visual
- Non-invasive electric stimulation
- Transcutaneous
- Transcranial
- Behavioral measurements
- Psychophysics
- Subjective reports
- Physiological measurements
- Electroencephalography
- Functional near-infrared spectroscopy
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging
- Otoacoustic emissions
We apply these methods in healthy human participants and patients with disorders of consciousness.

Our ongoing research projects investigate:
- Effects of rhythmic sensory and non-invasive electric nerve stimulation on arousal, consciousness, and brain activity (contact: Min Wu)
- Effects of rhythmic audio-tactile stimulation on auditory processing and perception (contact: Xueying Fu)
- Brain-based optimization of non-invasive brain stimulation parameters (contact: Lidongsheng Xing)
