Sensation, Perception and Action
We rely on our sensory systems to perceive and interact with the world. Given the complexity of our sensory environment, the nervous system has evolved specialized neural circuits that filter, combine, and refine the barrage of sensory signals we constantly encounter. The Yau Lab takes a multifaceted approach that integrates behavior, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, neuromodulation, and modeling to gain insight into the principles underlying sensory information processing and how the primate brain supports perception and action.
