Multisensory information processing and language development

The processing and integration of information from different sensory channels (e.g. visual, auditory, tactile, etc.) is important for various aspects of development, including language development and cognitive function. Deficits in multisensory processing have a severe impact on children. They increase the risk of developmental and neuropsychiatric problems. So far, the neurobiological basis for impaired multisensory processing and learning remains unclear.

Our ChildBrainCircuits project of the university research centre AdaBD investigates the mechanisms of these learning processes in healthy children and children with language development disorders throughout primary school. The project is being carried out in collaboration with the research groups of Prof Dr Nora Raschle, PD Dr Michael Von Rhein, Prof Dr Christian Ruff and Prof Dr Anita Rauch.

Recruitment for our CBC study has been successfully completed – we are grateful for the strong interest and would like to sincerely thank all participants for their support!

At this time, we are no longer accepting new registrations as we are now focusing on analyzing the collected data.
