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.
