QUESTIONS OF INTEREST

Interest in any form of long-lasting sensory plasticity and the cost/benefits of these changes.

How can we best describe the often transient nature of brain rhythms and examine their role in perception and action?

How might we best record and relate body signals with brain studies of perception and action?

How much plasticity can we attribute to sensory cortex?

How do sensation and emotion interact?
