David Brang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. His research interests lie at the intersection of cognition and neuroscience, particularly focusing on how multiple sensory modalities interact. His primary areas of expertise include Multisensory Integration, Cognition, Cognitive Neuroscience, Perception, and Brain Disorders. Dr. Brang's lab investigates the mechanisms underlying auditory, visual, and tactile interactions, including phenomena such as synesthesia and the perception of multisensory body image. His current research employs various techniques including psychophysical testing, fMRI, DTI, and electrophysiological measures of neural activity (EEG and ECoG). ECoG recordings, made from clinically implanted electrodes in patients, provide a unique opportunity to observe neural activity with millisecond temporal resolution and millimeter spatial precision, enhancing our understanding of sensory processing. His work contributes significantly to the field of neuroscience by revealing how information from different sensory systems is integrated in the brain.
