Making sense of how we sense the world

Whether physically, physiologically or perceptually, we cannot help but interacting with our surrounding world.
​
Understanding how our brain “senses” the world, and how this helps us adapting to our physical environment, is at the core of our research at the THERMOSENSELAB.

Being part of the Environmental Ergonomics Research Centre at Loughborough University, with a long history in perceptual/comfort research in relation to climate, clothing and equipment, the THERMOSENSELAB specializes in mechanistic research in human perception and applied neurophysiology.
