Summary:

Designed for The MIT course, Natural Computation, this extensive book of readings combines mathematics, artificial intelligence and robotics, computer science, experimental psychology, and neurophysiology in studying perception and movement. Mathematics is emphasized for making perceptual inferences, and the spectrum of mathematical techniques used is very broad. While half of the thirty-six readings focus on vision, the balance encompass the study of sound perception and the interpretation and application of forces, including movement.
