All senses provide simultaneous information about our environment and this information needs to be combined into a single percept.
The focus of the activity of the lab is the study of unimodal visual, tactile and auditory perception in humans their multimodal integration.
We principally investigate the integration between visual and tactile signals with the goal of understanding the rules that govern the merging
of perceptual information mediated by the intention to move signals and prior knowledge. Such aspects are relevant for the understanding of human perception as well as for the implementation of artificial systems. Furthermore the interest of our research is extended at the analysis of the dynamic of these perceptual capacities during development in normally sight children and considering patients with visual disabilities.
