Permanent linkPostdoctoral Research Fellow, Stanford University, 1992-1996. Senior Research Fellow, California Institute of Technology, 1996-1999. Description of Research ExpertiseMy research examines how the brain combines sensory, motor, andcognitive cues to form internal computational models of the external world. Specifically, my research program focuses on understanding the representation of auditory information in the cortex, how auditory information is integrated with cognitive processes, such as attention, decision making, motor planning, or memory, and how auditory and visual information is combined to form unified sensory percepts.
