Research

How does the brain do the job of distinguishing between sensory events generated in the mind and sensory events generated in the external world? In an attempt to shed light on this question, Chris is examining the relationships between endogenous sensory events (i.e., those generated in the mind), exogenous sensory events (i.e., those generated by the external world), and multi-sensory integration. In another line of research, he is also investigating the role of certain afferent/efferent processes in the feeling of body ownership and the sense of agency.
