Our Current Studies
Current studies in the lab span animal model experiments as well as human psychophysical studies. Specifically, we are interested in multisensory processing in animal models with unique sensory specializations. In addition, we study multisensory integration deficits in individuals with autism spectrum disorder.

About the Multisensory Lab
Our lab’s research interests include sensory processing (somatosensory and audiovisual processing in particular), perception, and comparative neurobiology. We utilize histology, histochemistry, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, in vivo extracellular electrophysiology, and behavioral analyses in order to assess sensory specializations and deficits as well as perceptual/behavioral outcomes
