A large amount of our everyday behaviour involves the integration of our perceptions and actions from information encountered by our different senses. For example, when we drive our car we must stay visually focused on many aspects of the road such as traffic, weather conditions, signage, pedestrians etc. This can become even more complex if we are also listening to the radio, using a cell phone, drinking a cup of coffee, or having a heated argument with a passenger. The work in my laboratory is primarily concerned with understanding how the brain is able to coordinate mental and physical activities that are required during complex behaviour.

我们的大量日常行为涉及到我们从不同感官所遇到的信息中整合我们的感知和行动。例如，当我们开车时，我们必须在视觉上关注道路的许多方面，如交通、天气状况、标志、行人等。如果我们还在听收音机、使用手机、喝咖啡或与乘客激烈争吵，这可能会变得更加复杂。我实验室的工作主要是了解大脑如何能够协调复杂行为所需的精神和身体活动。
