SenseWalk’s project team recently presented their research at the International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) 2025, held in Durham, UK. The presentation highlighted how continuous auditory cues – specifically sounds differing in pitch and loudness – can influence human gait, particularly under challenging walking conditions involving uneven surfaces and cognitive load. Using motion sensors to capture…

The SenseWalk project team is excited for presenting findings from various research studies at the 19thPanhellenic Conference of Psychological Research, taking place from May 7 to 11 in Ioannina, Greece. Our presentations explored the impact of age-related disturbances in multisensory perception and cognitive functions on gait pattern (Simoudi et al., 2025a), as well as the…

The SenseWalk project team is investigating the impact of different walkingconditions on static balance and postural sway in young adults. Specifically, the study evaluates participants’ bodily stability during various treadmill tasks, including standing still, walking normally, and walking on a slight incline. The objective is to reveal how fatigue induced by these walking conditions affects…

The SenseWalk project team is examining the impact of congruent and incongruentaudio-visual-tactile information on gait patterns in adults up to 40 years old. Theobjective is to identify modality dominance and multisensory integration acrossmultiple signals by assessing gait performance in unimodal, bimodal, and trimodalconditions, using both compliant and noncompliant surfaces in natural and virtualreality environments.

The SenseWalk project team, in collaboration with the Elderly Care Unit “Rodicare”,is recruiting individuals in the early stages of dementia to evaluate their timing andmultisensory processing abilities, and how these affect postural stability. Measuresof timing perception under dual-tasking conditions, inverse effectiveness, and one-legged stance will be collected from patients and compared to those of younger…

The SenseWalk’s project team participated in the Brain Matters-Neuroscience Festival in Athens on March 15, 2025 at the University of Athens. During the event, we disseminated information about the project’s aims, highlighting the benefits of multisensory perception in healthy aging through flyers. Additionally, we informed the general public about our ongoing experiments and encouraged them…

The SenseWalk’s team will soon begin a new experiment on timing perception in patients with dementia. Specifically, we will recruit patients in the early stages of dementia, age-matched controls, and younger adults to complete timing perception tasks while simultaneously performing secondary cognitive tasks. Additionally, we will assess their multisensory perception, balance, and postural stability. The…

We are pleased to announce that the project team has successfully recruited the required sample for investigating age-related alterations in multisensory perception, gait patterns, and cognitive functions. Specifically, we have completed our sample, which consists of 40 participants aged 18-30 years, 41 participants aged 60-69 years, 45 participants aged 70-79 years, and 14 participants aged…

SenseWalk’s project team attended and presented their results regarding the impact of auditory cues and cognitive load on walking behavior at the5th Interdisciplinary Conference «Brain and Mind» in Athens, Greece. The study examined the effect of high/low intensity and pitch sounds on walking on smooth and rough surfaces, while participants performed or not a secondary…

During the “Arduino Programming for Neuroscience” workshop, some members of the SenseWalk team had the chance to gain skills and knowledge ranging from basic electronics and diodes to motors, servos, and various types of sensors. Furthermore, we learnt how to use Arduino and write Arduino programs to operate different research devices and synchronize them effectively!…
