PhD student
remcilroy@uwaterloo.ca
I received my MSc in Kinesiology at the University of Guelph. Here I began to study multisensory integration and balance control. I am now a PhD student in the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Lab where I am studying the perceived timing of multisensory events during postural perturbations through a lean-and-release system.

MSc student
abashara@uwaterloo.ca
I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at the University of Waterloo. I am now a graduate student in the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Lab where I am interested in the perceived timing of audiovisual events in young and older adult populations.

MSc student
w8chung@uwaterloo.ca
I received my Bachelors of Science in Psychology at the University of Waterloo and I am currently doing my graduate studies under the supervision of Professor Barnett-Cowan. My main research interests are in neuroscience and cognition, more specifically I am interested in studying perception and virtual reality. I am currently examining the influence of head movements on the vestibulo ocular reflex (VOR), in order to gain a better understanding of how vestibular stimulation is perceived.

BSc student
sizadiso@uwaterloo.ca
I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology at Simon Fraser University and am currently working on a second Bachelor's. I am currently doing a research apprenticeship in the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Lab. I am assisting with studies that analyse the timing of multisensory events during postural perturbations through a lean-and-release system.

BSc student
ac2wise@uwaterloo.ca
I am a fourth-year thesis student in the Multisensory Brain and Cognition Lab. Currently I am completing my honours thesis, which investigates the genetic determinants of multisensory integration. I am also collaborating with researchers at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute to determine how change in multisensory integration is related to falls in the elderly and in patients with neurological damage.
