We present a novel methodology for building highly integrated multimodal systems. Our approach is motivated by current cognitive and behavioral theories of sensory perception in animals and humans. We argue that perceptual integration in multimodal systems needs to happen at the lowest levels of the individual perceptual processes. Rather than treating each modality as a separately processed, i...

In the framework of functional integration the non-leading terms to leading eikonal behavior of the Planckian-energy scattering amplitude are calculated by the straight-line path approximation. We show that the allowance for the first-order correction terms leads to the appearance of retardation effect. The singular character of the correction terms at short distances is also noted, and they ma...

This qualitative study explored parents' points of view regarding their children's participation in occupational therapy using a sensory integration approach. Data were collected through parent interviews and were analyzed using grounded theory methods. The parents' perceptions of the benefits of therapy for their children were categorized into three interrelated constructs: abilities, activiti...

Occupational therapists and occupational therapy assistants rely on knowledge and skills to guide their intervention planning as they help clients who are experiencing difficulties with engaging in occupation. Sensory integration theory, with its rich history grounded in the science of human growth and development, offers occupational therapy practitioners specific intervention strategies to re...

The aim of this review was to systematically identify, analyze, and summarize research involving interventions based on sensory integration activities that promote in children with ASD. Based the selection criteria ten out thirty studies were selected described terms of: a) participant characteristics, b) assessments used studies, c) intervention procedures, d) study goals, e) outcomes whether ...

We combine extant theories of evidence accumulation and multi-modal integration to develop an integrated framework for modeling multimodal integration as a process that unfolds in real time. Many studies have formulated sensory processing as a dynamic process where noisy samples of evidence are accumulated until a decision is made. However, these studies are often limited to a single sensory mo...
