Uncertainty of visual measurement and efficient allocation of sensory resources
We review the reasoning underlying two approaches to combination of sensory uncertainties. First approach is noncommittal, making no assumptions about properties of uncertainty or parameters of stimulation. Then we explain the relationship between this approach and the one commonly used in modeling "higher level" aspects of sensory systems, such as in visual cue integration, where assumptions are made about properties of stimulation. The two approaches follow similar logic, except in one case maximal uncertainty is minimized, and in the other minimal certainty is maximized. Then we demonstrate how optimal solutions are found to the problem of resource allocation under uncertainty.

Optimal measurement of visual motion across spatial and temporal scales
Sensory systems use limited resources to mediate the perception of a great variety of objects and events. Here a normative framework is presented for exploring how the problem of efficient allocation of resources can be …
SensitivityNonlinear scaling of resource allocation in sensory bottlenecks
In many sensory systems, information transmission is constrained by a bottleneck, where the number of output neurons is vastly smaller than the number of input neurons. Efficient coding theory predicts that in these scen…
Neural and perceptual signatures of efficient sensory coding
The mammalian brain is a metabolically expensive device, and evolutionary pressures have presumably driven it to make productive use of its resources. For sensory areas, this concept has been expressed more formally as a…
Audio-Visual-Olfactory Resource Allocation for Tri-modal Virtual Environments
Virtual Environments (VEs) provide the opportunity to simulate a wide range of applications, from training to entertainment, in a safe and controlled manner. For applications which require realistic representations of re…
Resource allocation under uncertainty: an algebraic and qualitative treatment
We use an algebraic viewpoint, namely a matrix framework to deal with the problem of resource allocation under uncertainty in the context of a qualitative approach. Our basic qualitative data are a plausibility relation …
