Postdoctoral researcher Room: 346, Building F2 |
My research uses behavioral (psychophysics) as well as fMRI methods to investigate how our actions influence our perception of the world, how we form predictions about our actions and their sensory consequences and how multiple sensory inputs influence these processes.
