Mikko Sams is a professor of Cognitive Neuroscience from Aalto University, Finland.  He started his career as an auditory neuroscientist, working many years with his supervisor Risto Näätänen on mismatch responses and effects of selective attention on auditory processing. Later he went on to study audiovisual perception, continuing his auditory neuroscience studies.

His recent interests include neurocognitive mechanisms of mutual understanding and neuroscience of music. He is here to collaborate with professors Peter Vuust and Elvira Brattico. Among other things, they are constructing a link between Aarhus and Helsinki connecting two MEG devices which will allow two persons to play together in spite of a long geographical distance.
