Experimentally disambiguating models of sensory cue integration.

ABSTRACT: Sensory cue integration is one of the primary areas in which a normative mathematical framework has been used to define the "optimal" way in which to make decisions based upon ambiguous sensory information and compare these predictions to behavior. The conclusion from such studies is that sensory cues are integrated in a statistically optimal fashion. However, numerous alternative computational frameworks exist by which sensory cues could be integrated, many of which could be described as "optimal" based on different criteria. Existing studies rarely assess the evidence relative to different candidate models, resulting in an inability to conclude that sensory cues are integrated according to the experimenter's preferred framework. The aims of the present paper are to summarize and highligh
