Research Abstract:
Our laboratory is interested in the multisensory integration necessary for self-motion perception, spatial orientation and the control of movement. The tools we use involve both computational and experimental approaches, including behavioral analyses, single unit recording and microstimulation/inactivation of different brain regions of macaque monkeys in the brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus and the cortex.
