Given this commonality, Marks theorizes that all sensory input is at some point in the neural processing converted to a shared representation and fusion carried out by a small set of combination mechanisms, the choice of which is determined by context. Experiments with SFX implemented on a mobile security robot operating in a cluttered environment demonstrate the utility of these states. The emphasis and value of this multimodal interaction are clearly evident in the cerebral area apportioned to visual and dexterous activity.
Surgery is a human activity that employs the use of visual and manual investigations.
We thank Richard Held for helpful discussions. The Merging of the Senses . The fact that we can recognise the analogy and speculate about its origin also implies that there is an equivalence between the mechanism that understands pitch relations, that derives the key map, and the mechanism underlying our conception of circle. Our focus will be on the latter problem, which we refer to as the integration problem, although we will also discuss briefly the former problem, which we refer to as the coordinate transformation problem. The merging of the senses .
