| summary | In order to make sense of the world the brain relies on information from all the senses, including vision, touch, and audition. In recent years evidence has accumulated that for spatial attributes the brain uses sensory information in a statistically optimal fashion. This seems to be true for the integration of information as well as its use for recalibration. Here I will review some of our recent work on temporal estimates. Particularly, we asked whether integration as well as recalibration in the temporal domain follow some of the same rules that were observed for spatial estimates. This is interesting because temporal estimate markedly differ from spatial estimate, in that many of them are only available post-hoc, there is a unique direction from past to future, and they are often related via a causal relationship. Despite these differences we found optimal use of sensory information under many conditions also in the temporal domain. |
