Uta Noppeney

Prof. Uta Noppeney is a Professor of Systems Neuroscience at Radboud University's Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour. She leads research on multisensory perception, integrating behavioral studies with computational modeling (Bayesian, neural networks) and neuroimaging (fMRI, MEG, EEG). Her academic roles include Director of the Computational Neuroscience and Cognitive Robotics Centre (2012–2019) at the University of Birmingham, and Max Planck Research Group Leader (2005–2012).

• Current affiliations: Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging, Biophysics Department
• Previous: University of Birmingham (2011–2019), Max Planck Institute (2005–2012)

Research focuses on how the brain integrates multisensory information for perception, learning, and decision-making. Key topics include perceptual inference, attentional modulation, and probabilistic computations. Her work combines Bayesian modeling with advanced neuroimaging techniques to study both healthy and clinical populations.

Recent grants include an ERC Advanced Grant (2023) and Turing Fellowship (2018–2019). Her lab actively recruits MSc/PhD students and PostDocs interested in computational neuroscience and multisensory systems.
