Abstract
Living organisms are distinguished by their information gathering abilities. Much effort has been expended by biologists and other scientists in determining by what means organisms obtain and process information. Recently, scientists interested in the computational aspects of information processing have looked towards these studies in search of clues as to how machines can be made to gather and process information. In this book we focus on an important aspect of sensory information processing, that of fusing separate sources of sensory information.
