Scientific Specializations
- Time perception: Eagleman's scientific work has combined psychophysical, behavioral, and computational approaches to address the relationship between the timing of perception and the timing of neural signals. He has explored temporal encoding, time warping, manipulations of the perception of causality, and time perception in high-adrenaline situations. This data is used to understand how neural signals processed by different brain regions come together for a temporally unified picture of the world.
- Synesthesia, an unusual perceptual condition in which stimulation to one sense triggers an involuntary sensation in other senses. Eagleman is the developer of The Synesthesia Battery
 , a free online test by which people can determine whether they're synesthetic.
- Visual illusions and what they tell us about neurobiology. He has concentrated recently on the flash lag illusion and wagon wheel effect.
- Neuroscience and the Law, an emerging field that determines how modern brain science should affect the way we make laws, punish criminals, and invent new methods for rehabilitation. Eagleman is the founder and director of Baylor College of Medicine's Initiative on Neuroscience and Law.
