We are studying the neural bases of human selective attention and perception by recording the brain's electrical activity using electrodes placed on the scalp. Our goal is to identify and characterize spatio-temporal patterns of brain activity that underlie selective processing of auditory, visual, and tactile events and the integration of different-modality events into real-world, multimodal objects.
