The International Multisensory Research Forum (IMRF) is an annual meeting. The 2011 meeting was held 17‒20 October in Fukuoka, Japan. The conference provides a platform for scientists who are interested in how different senses interact with each other and are integrated. Researchers from many different disciplines, including neuroscience, psychophysics, cognitive psychology, computational modeling, developmental research, and engineering, participate. This year, Yôiti Suzuki was the general chair of the organizing committee, which included members from universities and research institutes in Japan. The following are the abstracts of keynote speakers, symposia, talks, and posters from the conference.
