Descriptions

Professor Cynthia Moss (Psychology/ISR) is the principal investigator leading an international research team on "Multimodal sensing in the natural environment," a three-year research grant from the Human Frontiers Science Program.

The project will advance critical new insights to how animals process, represent and use multimodal sensory information from the natural environment. This includes how they build cognitive maps of their natural environments to make decisions for goal-directed actions. Through integrated field and lab studies, computer modeling and biomimetic robotics, the project will contribute to a deeper understanding of multisensory integration, scene analysis, and spatial navigation in natural settings.
