Hermann-Rein-Straße 3, 37075 Göttingen

The Collaborative Research Center 1690 “Disease Mechanisms and Functional Recovery of Sensory and Motor Systems” (https://sfb1690.uni-goettingen.de) at the University Medical Center Göttingen cordially invites people of all ages to the “Day of the Senses”.

Discover the fascinating world of human senses, gather exciting experiences, and learn new things about hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, and touching. Look forward to numerous hands-on activities and interesting insights into current research surrounding our sensory perception.

We look forward to your visit!

The symposium will focus on sensorimotor transformations and the role of internal world models in perception, action, and adaptation. It will bring together researchers from neuroscience, neurotechnology, artificial intelligence, and robotics to examine how biological and artificial systems integrate sensory information, construct predictive representations of the environment, and translate these representations into goal-directed behavior.
