At the Wallace Lab at Vanderbilt University, we explore how the brain integrates information from different sensory systems to shape behavior and perception. Our work seeks to uncover the neural mechanisms underlying multisensory interactions, understand how these processes develop, and investigate how sensory experiences influence them.

We employ a multidisciplinary approach, including animal behavior studies, human psychophysics, neuroimaging (ERP and fMRI), and neurophysiological techniques, to address these fundamental questions.

Beyond studying multisensory processing under typical conditions, we are also dedicated to understanding how these circuits are altered in clinical conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and developmental dyslexia. Our research aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of multisensory processes and their critical role in human development and neurological health.
