WELCOME TO THE SENSORY PERCEPTION RESEARCH LAB
Our research focuses on how individuals perceive the world around them, and particularly interested in multisensory integration, or how individuals combine information across the senses. Additionally, we study how individuals use this multisensory information to perform high-level cognitive operations such as speech perception and communication. Our work includes four active lines of research:
- Basic research in multisensory integration and perception
- How multisensory perceptual abilities develops across the lifespan
- The relationship between sensory processing and cognitive function
- Differences in perception in clinical populations including, but not limited to, autism spectrum disorder, cochlear implant users, schizophrenia, and ADHD, and how these differences affect symptomatology
We study these concepts at both the behavioural and neural level. To do this, we approach the topic from multiple perspectives, using behavioural psychophysical tasks, eye tracking, advanced neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG, and TMS), and qualitative measures, including neuropsychological testing and questionnaires.
