Professional Statement
The aims of our lab are to identify perceptual and neural processing principles that unify our senses and to characterize the complex interactions between the sensory systems. We are also interested in understanding how human brain regions collaborate in distributed networks and how network connectivity is dynamically modulated across tasks and attention state. We investigate the relationship between the brain and behavior using functional neuroimaging, noninvasive brain stimulation, computational modeling, and psychophysics.Websites
