Audio-visual localization with hierarchical topographic maps: Modeling the superior colliculus

<22>The model presented in this paper was first developed as a result of discussions at an EPSRC funded international workshop at Surrey (EP/E012795/1, PI Casey). From this we developed a computational theory of multisensory integration (Casey & Pavlou 2008) before applying this to live audio-visual integration (this paper). This approach of combining neuroscience, modelling and application underpinned collaboration with Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Manchester, Oxford, Stirling, Sunderland, Surrey, Wake Forest University of Medicine and York in an EPSRC large-grant bid. The project advocated the development of a robot embodied with practical neuroscience models. These papers demonstrated the viability of the approach.
