Multisensory perception

Special population work: We study vision in special populations for two reasons: (1) such work often yields insights into normal functioning of the visual system and (2) this research has the potential to translate into tangible improvements in visual functioning of the affected populations.

Research approaches

Psychophysics: This is the main approach in the lab and it is used in nearly all studies.

Brain stimulation: TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) and tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation)

Neurophysiology: We collaborate with neurophysiology labs to gain a better understanding of the links between perception and neural activity.
Glasser et al., PNAS, 2011 ~ Borghouis et al., in prep
fMRI: Brain imaging work is conducted at the Rochester Center for Brain Imaging (RCBI) and through external collaborations.
