Bayesian natural selection and the evolution of perceptual systems.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 29 Apr 2002

Geisler Wilson S, Diehl Randy L

Abstract excerpt

In recent years, there has been much interest in characterizing statistical properties of natural stimuli in order to better understand the design of perceptual systems. A fruitful approach has been to compare the processing of natural stimuli in real perceptual systems with that of ideal observers derived within the framework of Bayesian statistical decision theory. While this form of optimization theory has...
