Research Interests

I am interested in how the nervous system integrates sensory information with prior knowledge in order to guide behavior. Our sensations are determined in part by our own actions, and our nervous system makes use of expectations of the consequences of our actions to interpret sensory information. For example, the nervous system makes use of knowledge about eye movements to interpret retinal position and motion information. My research has focused on visual and vestibular sensory systems, and oculo-motor and manual actions, using psychophysical and behavioral measurement techniques.

In the future I hope to continue investigations of sensory-motor interactions in more natural surroundings. Studies of the visual system often involve seated subjects, often with the head restrained, and viewing a computer monitor with small visual stimuli; vestibular studies often have the subject securely restrained on a moving chair experiencing passive motion. The reasons for limiting experiments in such ways are clear, because it allows highly precise measurements in well-defined situations. However, such conditions do not involve typical movement patterns, nor do they allow the subject full use of expectations of sensory stimulation that result from planned movements. In the future I hope to study sensory-motor systems with subjects walking and moving naturally, utilizing normal movement patterns and experiencing typical sensory responses. The challenge will be to develop techniques that allow precise measurements within well-controlled experiments.
