Topic: sensory feature

Our daily endeavors occur in a complex visual environment, whose intrinsic variability shapes the way we integrate information to make decisions. By processing thousands of parallel sensory inputs, our brain is theoretically able to compute the uncertainty of its environment, which would allow it to perform Bayesian integration of its internal representations and its new sensory inputs to drive optimal inference. While there is convincing evidence that humans do compute this sensory uncertainty to guide their behavior, the actual neurobiological and computational principles on which uncertaint
