This book provides an introduction into both computational models
and experimental paradigms that are concerned with sensory cue
integration both within and between sensory modalities.
Importantly, across behavioral, electrophysiological and
theoretical approaches, Bayesian statistics is emerging as a common
language in which cue-combination problems can be expressed. This
book focuses on the emerging probabilistic way of thinking about
these problems. These approaches derive from the realization that
all our sensors are noisy and moreover are often affected by
ambiguity. For example, mechanoreceptor outputs are variable and
they cannot distinguish if a perceived force is caused by the
weight of an object or by force we are producing ourselves. The
computational approaches described in this book aim at formalizing
the uncertainty of cues. They describe cue combination as the
nervous system's attempt to minimize uncertainty in its estimates
and to choose successful actions. Some computational approaches
described in the chapters of this book are concerned with the
application of such statistical ideas to real-world cue-combination
problems, such as shape and depth perception. Other parts of the
book ask how uncertainty may be represented in the nervous system
and used for cue combination.
The broadening scope of probabilistic approaches to cue combination
is highlighted in the breadth of topics covered in this book: the
chapters summarize and discuss computational approaches and
behavioral evidence aimed at understanding the combination of
visual, auditory, proprioceptive, and haptic cues. Some chapters
address the combination of cues within a single sensory modality
while others address the combination across sensory modalities.
Neural implementation, behavior, and theory are considered. The
unifying aspect of this book is the focus on the uncertainty
intrinsic to sensory cues and the underlying question of how the
nervous system deals with this uncertainty.
The book is intended as a reference text for graduate students and
professionals in perceptual psychology, computational neuroscience,
cognitive neuroscience and sensory neurophysiology.
