Multimodal Perception

Project Overview

Discussions of speech perception have traditionally focused on the auditory modality. Over the last half-century, there has been a progressive shift towards the perspective that speech perception draws on information from multiple sensory modalities. Projects under this branch of investigation seek to advance our understanding of the complex cross-modal effects that contribute to speech as we hear it.
