I graduated in Psychology and completed a PhD in Cognitive Science at Universitat de Barcelona. In my PhD I worked at the University of Oxford (UK), where I also stayed as a postdoc before moving to University of British Columbia (Canada) in 2000. After some years I returned to Spain as a Ramón y Cajal fellow and started my own research group at Universitat de Barcelona in 2002, before moving to at the Parc Científic de Barcelona as an ICREA Research Professor in 2005. There I established the Multisensory Research Group thanks to public and private funding. In 2009, we moved to Universitat Pompeu Fabra, as one of the core groups of the Center for Brain and Cognition (CBC). I became director of the CBC as of 2022. I received an ERC-StG in 2010, and an ERC PoC in 2016. Currently, the MRG works on basic and applied research projects supported by national (MINECO, AGAUR, BBVA Foundation) and international EU (ERC, BIAL, MSC

Like other animals, humans are endowed with a wide range of sensory capacities such as hearing, feeling, seeing, smelling and so on. Consequently, our brains must deal with this rich variety of sensory inputs to parse information, represent the surrounding environment with fidelity and precision, remember past events, make decisions, and plan and carry out actions. I am particularly interested in the mental and neural processes underlying perception, attention and, memory when they involve these multi-sensory scenarios. To succeed at these cognitive processes, our brains must coordinate the distinct sources of sensory information effectively across their different temporal scales, spatial frames of reference, and representational formats. To understand how this occurrs, I use experimental approaches based on cognitive psychology and psychophysics, neuroimaging (mostly EEG), brain stimulation, and special populations, as well as modelling the data with statistical tools.
