 a scientific meeting that aims to advance our understanding of how the 
nervous system processes information from multiple senses to shape both 
perception and action. This multidisciplinary conference features 
neuroscientists, psychologists, engineers, biologists, cognitive 
scientists and others coming together to present and discuss the most 
recent and impactful work in the field. Active topics of research 
include human and animal behavior, sensory anatomy and physiology, 
neural correlates of multisensory processes, computational modeling, 
perception, attention, development, adaptation, decision making, as well
 as clinical and technological applications. </span><span style="color:rgb(36,36,36);font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:white">To join IMRF mailing list, please visit: </span><span style="color:black;font-size:12pt;font-family:Aptos,Aptos_EmbeddedFont,Aptos_MSFontService,Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif;background-color:white"><a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.imrf.info%2Fwws%2Fsubscribe%2Fmultisensory&data=05%7C02%7Cpmacneilage%40unr.edu%7C2714d0abf0024d14e8c908dc3d556e60%7C523b4bfc0ebd4c03b2b96f6a17fd31d8%7C0%7C0%7C638452684329608687%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nurcnfa0whwEei7dF%2B6YtjoHBjqFB%2BJ40gyaX4F%2FxTQ%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" id="gmail-OWA5ad1b31f-1b2d-3f96-e7ea-eaa801657372" title="" style="text-align:left;background-color:white;margin:0px">https://lists.imrf.info/wws/subscribe/multisensory</a></span></div>
