Eagleman Lab

Laboratory for Perception and Action

The long range goal of our research is to understand how the brain constructs perception, how different brains do so differently, and how this matters for society. To that end, our four main prongs involve time perception, sensory substitution, synesthesia, and neurolaw. Please explore the menus for more information, and see publications for our latest research results.
