Motion perception and  spatial orientation
Our laboratory is interested in the multisensory integration necessary for self-motion perception, spatial orientation and the control of movement. The tools we use involve both computational and experimental approaches, including behavioral analyses, single unit recording and microstimulation/inactivation of different brain regions of macaque monkeys in the brainstem, cerebellum, thalamus and the cortex.

The laboratory is funded by several grants from the National Institute of Health (NIH) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). For more details on specific projects, see http://cabernet.wustl.edu/~angelakilab
