- A broad introduction to the theory of sensory cue integration
- Serves as an introduction to the field and as a reference text
- Addressed to researchers in multiple allied fields: perceptual psychology, computational neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience and sensory neurophysiology
- Covers theoretical issues and empirical results from both behavior and neurophysiology
- Addresses cue integration within a single sensory modality (e.g., multiple visual cues to depth) as well as intra-modal cue integration (e.g., auditory and visual cues to spatial location)
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.Readership: Cognitive psychologists

Landy, Professor of Psychology and Neural Science, New York University Julia Trommershäuser spent three years as a postdoctoral researcher at New York University. From 2004-2009, she was a researcher in the Department of Psychology at Giessen University, Germany, funded by an Emmy-Noether Research Award by the German Science Foundation (DFG). She currently works at the Center for Neural Science at New York University on questions in
the field of human decision-making under risk and uncertainty.
Konrad Körding is an Assistant Professor at Northwestern University. His lab focuses on the statistical processing of information in the sensorimotor system.
Michael Landy is a Full Professor of Psychology and Neural Science at New York University. His research concerns visual and visuomotor behavior, often comparing human
performance to that of a statistically ideal participant.
