decreased by properly modulating multisensory sources. However,
there is a limited knowledge as how to perform such modulations in
non-isolating contexts (Söderlund e Jobs, 2016). The candidate
will study how environmental information modulates perception of
non-visual inputs when the person executes non-isolating
activities such as speech, understanding or listening to sound
sources or moving in non-familiar spaces. The candidate will
perform a complete study where behavioral variables are combined
with neurophysiological correlates (EEG). The results of this
research will be applicable in the field of assistive technologies
for sensory and cognitive impairments and in clinical setups.</p>
