Bayesov models of perception and action. Wei Ji Ma, Kerding K., Goldrakh D.

Many forms of perception and actions can be mathematically modeled using probabilistic (Bayes) output - the method used to obtain conclusions based on indefinite data. According to these models, faced with noisy and ambiguous data, the human brain behaves as a talented data specialist or investigator at the crime scene. This book rich in examples and illustrations is the introduction to the methodology of building and using probabilistic models of perceptual decision -making and actions.

The publication is addressed to a wide range of readers interested in neurobiology, cognitive sciences, machine learning, psychology, linguistics and mathematics.
