Charles Spence is an experimental psychologist at the University of Oxford.[1] He is the head of the Crossmodal Research group which specializes in the research about the integration of information across different sensory modalities.[2][3] He also teaches Experimental Psychology to undergraduates at Somerville College, Oxford.[4]

He is currently a consultant for a number of multinational companies advising on various aspects of multisensory design. He has also conducted research on human-computer interaction issues on the crew workstation on the European Space Shuttle, and currently works on problems associated with the design of foods that maximally stimulate the senses, and with the effect of the indoor environment on mood, well-being, and performance. Spence has published more than 500 articles in scientific journals over the last decade. He has been awarded the 10th Experimental Psychology Society Prize, the British Psychological Society: Cognitive Section Award, the Paul Bertelson Award, recognizing him as the young European Cognitive Psychologist of the Year, and, most recently, the prestigious Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany.[5]
