Interests

My research examines how the brain combines sensory, motor, and cognitive cues to form internal models of the external world. Specifically, my research interests focus on understanding the representation of auditory information in the cortex, how auditory information is integrated with cognitive processes such as attention, motor planning, or memory, and how auditory and visual information is combined to form unified sensory percepts.
