About Us Our research focuses span multiple laboratories with significant overlap. We explore how we interpret our surroundings and adapt our responses, often by investigating the neural processes that enable humans and animals to convert sensory information into perception. Our Approach We employ diverse experimental techniques including behavioral observation studies, neuroimaging, intracranial brain recordings in both animals and humans, and computational models that link neural development and activity to our conscious experiences of the environment. Our Research Our visual and auditory studies encompass developmental perception, complex sound interpretation, 3D spatial awareness, attentional processes, decision-making influenced by value judgments, and neural analysis of auditory and visual stimuli. The Program Wisconsin's Perception graduate program emphasizes excellence in scientific inquiry, supported by faculty who provide comprehensive interdisciplinary coursework and training opportunities.
