Abstract
Human beings experience their environment through their senses. The perceptual system is specialized for perceptual control over behaviours enabling humans to interact with their environment. The environment may contain static as well as dynamic objects and phenomena. Furthermore, the perception of the environment, provided by the senses, changes according to ego motion relative to the environment. The experience of oneself in relation to the environment requires that there is a well-known and expected consistency between the perceptions of the individual senses as well as between perception and ego motion.
