How we as humans process sensory information greatly impacts the manner with which we perceive and interact with the world. The sensory information upon which our perceptions are based is multisensory in nature yet we know surprisingly little about how neural systems develop to integrate information across senses. This work aims to determine basic neural mechanisms and circuitry that underlie this fundamental process, how these neural mechanisms develop, and how they change with experience. Thus, the proposed work will lay bare the neural mechanisms that shape some of the most fundamental aspects of the human experience, particularly how we perceive and interact with our environment.

作为人类，我们如何处理感官信息极大地影响着我们感知世界和与世界互动的方式。我们的感知所依据的感官信息本质上是多感官的，但令人惊讶的是，我们对神经系统如何发展以整合跨感官的信息知之甚少。这项工作的目的是确定这一基本过程背后的基本神经机制和电路，这些神经机制如何发展，以及它们如何随着经验而变化。因此，拟议的工作将揭示塑造人类体验的一些最基本方面的神经机制，特别是我们如何感知环境并与环境互动。
