Sensing and Action Across Time and Space

Natural, goal-directed behaviors typically involve sensing and action across both time and space. Organisms must react to stimuli in the 3D environment at each moment in time, as well as plan future behaviors to successfully complete the goal. Research in my lab is focused on understanding how the brain receives and reacts to sensory information for the purpose of goal-directed behavioral control. To study these phenomena, we examine the hunting behaviors of echolocating bats as a model of natural, 3D goal-directed behaviors.
