As #IMRF2026 comes to an end, we would like to sincerely thank the entire UVIP team, Monica Gori, Maria Bianca Amadeo, the Scientific Committee, our sponsors, and everyone who contributed and participated. Your support made this conference possible. See you at the next edition!

The last day of IMRF arrived with the same great energy and curiosity that carried us through the entire conference. We closed with the Awards Ceremony, celebrating the brilliant work of our researchers, followed by the final remarks and business meeting. #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

What a way to close #IMRF2026! Professor Johan Wagemans brought a captivating perspective on how we appreciate art, revealing the many perceptual and cognitive pathways that converge in aesthetic experience. A beautiful final keynote. #MultisensoryResearch

Good morning and welcome to the last day of the conference! Symposium 11 is underway… how can multisensory stimulation be harnessed to restore and rehabilitate vision? A timely and clinically grounded discussion to wrap up #IMRF2026 !! #MultisensoryResearch

We are very happy to annunce the winner of travel Grant by The Sense Innovation and Research Center one of our sponsor who support a student or early-career researcher. Congratulations Emily Perri!

Key takeaway from Prof. Morrone's keynote: the brain's capacity for visual plasticity depends far more on top-down control than we might expect. A thought-provoking end to Day 3! #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

2^ Symposia session of today: "Multisensory and sensorimotor‑informed tools for early detection and personalized neurorehabilitation" and "Illusions as tools to probe the multisensory mind: implications for sensory theory, neuroplasticity, and individual differences"

Symposia sessions : "Proprioceptive contribution to multisensory body representations and neuroplasticity in normal and pathological contexts" and "Navigating sensory uncertainty in motor control: multi-method insights across human and nonhuman primates."

Good morning and welcome to the third day of the conference! we start with "Active sensing and sensorimotor integration" and "Multisensory processing and learning" #IMRF2026 #MultisensoryResearch

We close the day with two creative sessions: improv based communication and sensory painting.. and finally, as we promised, the calcio balilla tournment 🎖🎨🪁🎤⚽️ Thanks to everyone who joined, and see you tomorrow! #IMRF2026 #UVIP

This afternoon, the program features two talk sessions that explore how the brain constructs our perception of space and how computational models can help us understand the multisensory processes that make this possible. #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

The day continues with two more symposia sessions "Perception in action: the role of interaction and behavior in multisensory experience." and "Multisensory integration and aging: cognitive, motor, and brain health implications." #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

Starting of Symposia Session: "Touch, body, and space: rethinking tactile localization" and "The sensory-motor brain organization and its role in cognition/life." #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

📅Goodmorning! Day 2 of #IMRF2026 starting with two talk session: Multisensory body representation and Multisensory development

Key takeaway from today's keynote: sensory loss is not only about missing information, it also reshapes how perception, cognition, and experience are organized. Excellent keynote by Prof. Casey O'Callaghan. #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

The first day continues with Symposium 2, which focuses on the multisensory and sensorimotor mechanisms underpinning the perception of the body and identity, offering new perspectives on the relationship between the brain, the senses and experience. #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

Huge congrats to the young researchers presenting today's Young Talk at the IMRF conference! Wishing you all the best for your talk! Thanks to EJN for sponsoring this session dedicated to emerging research talent #IMRF2026 #YoungTalk

Symposium 1 begins: "Fifty years of Hearing Lips and Seeing Voices: the golden anniversary of the McGurk Effect". A timely reflection on one of the most influential phenomena in multisensory perception research. #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

Today we officially open the conference. Over the next four days, researchers from varied disciplines will share new findings and perspectives on multisensory processing, embodiment, perception, learning, neuroplasticity, and rehabilitation. Welcome to everyone! #MultisensoryResearch #IMRF2026

Loved this reflection from @jslbutler.bsky.social on IMRF 2025. The beauty of this conference is exactly that — the mix of perspectives and a true multisensory mosaic. 📍 Durham, UK | #IMRF2025 #MultisensoryResearch #NeuroscienceCommunity #AcademicConferences

📍MIVE Lab at @durham-university.bsky.social for #IMRF2025! 1️⃣ @jennycampos.bsky.social shared Anthony Moncada’s work on multisensory illusions & cognitive performance 2️⃣ Dr. Saryazdi on scent & memory 3️⃣ @jslbutler.bsky.social on modelling visual-vestibular self-motion [Repost w/ correct posters]

It was a pleasure to connect with many great perceptual researchers at #IMRF2025. There, I had the opportunity to share my current research comparing metacognitive access across bodily modalities + cheer on my colleagues from Tufts as they presented their own super cool work!

A week of inspiring research & exciting chats with new and old friends at #IMRF2025! Presented our latest work on visuotactile crossmodal congruency effect in children 👾 Thank you @imrf.bsky.social ! Was an honour to help run microphones for such cool talks 🫡

#IMRF2025 First participation ! I was lucky to be able to present my ongoing study during one of the poster sessions. Thank you so much for the nice talks, posters and for all the great interactions i had during the conference Looking forward to the next edition ✨

Thanks so much to @imrf.bsky.social organising committee @dorothycowie.bsky.social @markonardini.bsky.social @meike-scheller.bsky.social and Ulrik Beierholm and everyone else involved. It was a great forum.

Had a great time discussing multisensory integration @imrf.bsky.social! And really enjoyed sharing our new work too

#IMRF2025 , what a blast it was to present my sensory substitution research!! So many new nice faces and connections! Looking forward to #IMRF2026 @imrf.bsky.social

It's a wrap! We are happy to bring IMRF 2025 to a close, but also sad to say goodbye to so many lovely, smart people! (or at least "until next year").
