Human Sensory Systems Laboratory

The Human Sensory Systems Laboratory researches how our senses—such as vision, hearing, taste, touch, and smell—detect and process environmental stimuli. The lab aims to understand the physiological and psychological mechanisms behind sensory perception, how sensory information is integrated in the brain, and how sensory health can be maintained or restored. This research helps develop better treatments for sensory impairments, improve technologies like prosthetics and virtual reality, and enhances overall understanding of human perception in everyday life.
