Prescott,Nathan F. Lepora,Anna Mura,Paul F. The 28 full papers and 33 extended abstracts presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in this book. The conference addresses themes related to the development of future real-world technologies which will depend strongly on our understanding and harnessing of the principles underlying living systems and the flow of communication signals between living and artificial systems.

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. Author : Mark A. Gluck,Catherine E. Author : James M. Author : Pascal Wallisch,Michael E.

Product description Review The enthusiasm expressed in the book is infectious. The writing is exceedingly clear and the concepts well expressed.

I am very impressed. I like the way he has interwoven the theory, the math, the computer simulations, and the neurobiology. I like the level and style of presentation a lot. The author has done a great job of bringing a variety of models under one umbrella and going over them in detail.

The mathematical details are also clearly explained. Save to Library Save. Create Alert Alert. Share This Paper. Background Citations. Methods Citations. Results Citations. Topics from this paper. Systems modeling.
