My research focuses on the mechanism of multisensory integration, including vision, proprioception, touch, and audition, which incorporates past experiences and prior knowledge with present sensory inputs in the perception and action loop.
The ability to flexibly and adaptively integrate information from a variety of sources is a fundamental function of human brain and I believe that this process is tailored to both the internal representation and the external world.
With human psychophysics and virtual reality/robotic systems, I try to identify behavioral strategies and important features of multisensory processing amenable to computational modeling.
My goal is twofold based on the understanding of human sensorimotor processing mechanisms: utilizing multisensory information to effectively influence the formation of internal representation for training or skill acquisition purposes, and devising multisensory interfaces facilitating intuitive and smooth human-machine interaction such as remote operation.
