The integration of partially redundant information from multiple sensors is a standard computational problem for agents interacting with the world. In man and other primates, integration has been shown psychophysically to be nearly optimal in the sense of error minimization. An influential generalization of this notion of optimality is that populations of multisensory neurons should retain all ...

EFFECTS OF ALTERNATIVE SEATING ON THE ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT OF CHILDREN WITH AUTISM by Hillary R. Tunstall June, 2009 Chair: Kathleen Row, Ph.D. Major Department: Students with sensory integration deficits may display a hyper or hyposensitivity to sensory information and lack the ability to modulate that input in socially appropriate ways. Therapy balls as a sensory integration intervention has s...

The article describes the problem of "sensory integration", need to study it, peculiarities its manifestation. Attempts are being made draw professionals' attention a that is often encountered today but not evaluated or corrected accordingly in either children adults. especially acute among schoolchildren. Our observations have shown this may be at root negative educational motivation, failure ...

For the sake of concreteness, let’s think about the problem of estimating visual depth. A commonly assumed framework for how an observer might go about judging the depth of a visual object defined by multiple visual cues is the following two-stage process. First, depth estimates based on individual cues are derived. Next, a weighted combination of these estimates is calculated and used as the o...
