Biography
Lawrence Marks, PhD, and his research group study the ways that sensory systems transduce and process patterns of stimulus energy, and how the resulting information is encoded and represented in perception and cognition. Currently, research focuses on the ways that cognitive information, such as expectations induced by labels, and decisional processe interact with mulitsensory (gustatory and olfactory) processing in human flavor perception.
