We review the reasoning underlying two approaches to combination of sensory uncertainties. First approach is noncommittal, making no assumptions about properties of uncertainty or parameters of stimulation, as in Gepshtein, Tyukin, and Albright (2010). Then we explain the relationship between this approach and the one commonly used in modeling “higher level” aspects of sensory systems, such as ...

Multisensory integration involves a host of different cognitive processes, occurring at different stages of sensory processing. Here I argue that, despite recent insights suggesting that multisensory interactions can occur at very early latencies, the actual integration of individual sensory traces into an internally consistent mental representation is dependent on both top-down and bottom-up p...

The paper discusses the problem of modelling intelligent behaviour using stochastic optimal control theory. The stochastic control solution requires state feed-back which requires vast computational resources both in terms of memory and computation. We argue that an efficient approach to this problem requires an integration of sensory and motor computation. We propose the path integral control ...

The concept of pervasive computing has become a reality. Sensors and sensory networks are becoming a vital part of organizational infrastructures as they allow integration of real-time data. The sensors have the potential to provide vastly distributed real-time data. But they also have certain limiting characteristics that can impact the quality of data collected over a sensory network. The fir...

This issue of the American}ournal of Occupational Therapy commemorates the work of A_ Jean Ayres, an occupational therapist and neuropsychologist who, as a consummate clinician, developed a theory of sensory integration, created standardized tests and other measures co evaluate sensory integration, and designed a treatment approach to remediate sensory incegrative dysfunction. Therapists throug...

Perceived time is inherently malleable. For example, adaptation to relatively long or short sensory events leads to a repulsive aftereffect such that subsequent events appear to be contracted or expanded (duration adaptation). Perceived visual duration can also be distorted via concurrent presentation of discrepant auditory durations (multisensory integration). The neural loci of both distortio...

This paper presents a novel approach to achieving the goals of data envelopment analysis in the process of reconstruction and integration of decision-making units by using multiple objective linear programming. In this regard, first, we review inverse data envelopment analysis models for data reconstruction and integration. We present a model with multi-objective linear programming structure in...
