Sensory processing in the brain includes three key operations: multisensory integration-the task of combining cues into a single estimate of a common underlying stimulus; coordinate transformations-the change of reference frame for a stimulus (e.g., retino

Exponential-family harmoniums (EFHs), which extend restricted Boltzmannmachines (RBMs) from Bernoulli random variables to other exponential families(Welling et al., 2005), are generative models that can be trained withunsupervised-learning techniques, like
