Description of Research Expertise

50 My research examines how the brain combines sensory, motor, and
43 cognitive cues to form internal computational models of the
44 external world. Specifically, my research program focuses on
47 understanding the representation of auditory information in the
45 cortex, how auditory information is integrated with cognitive
9d processes, such as attention, decision making, motor planning, or memory, and how auditory and visual information is combined to form unified sensory
10 percepts.
