Spatiotemporal integration.

Home > Psychology > Sensation and Perception (psychology) > Spatiotemporal integration.

Spatiotemporal integration is the brain's ability to combine information from multiple senses and over time to create a unified percept of the world.

Spatial Frequency: The amount of detail or texture in an image, which affects how easily and accurately it can be perceived.
Temporal Frequency: The rate at which objects or events change or move over time, which affects how easily and accurately they can be perceived or tracked.
Motion Perception: The ability to detect, track, and interpret movement of objects or the self in the environment.
Gestalt Principles: The principles of perceptual organization that govern how we group and interpret visual elements in a scene, such as proximity, similarity, continuity, and closure.
Top-Down Processing: The role of prior knowledge, expectations, and context in shaping perception and interpretation of stimuli.
Bottom-Up Processing: The role of sensory input in driving perception and interpretation of stimuli.
Attention: The selective allocation of cognitive resources to prioritize processing of relevant stimuli in the environment.
Visual Search: The process of actively scanning the environment to locate a target or relevant information.
Spatial Updating: The ability to continuously update one's position and orientation within a changing environment.
Visual Working Memory: The capacity to temporarily hold and manipulate visual information in mind for use in ongoing tasks or decision-making.
Multisensory Integration: The process of combining information from different sensory modalities (e.g. vision, hearing, touch) to form a unified perceptual experience.
Cognitive Load: The amount of mental effort required to process and integrate sensory information, which can affect the accuracy and speed of perception and decision-making.
Individual Differences: Variability in perceptual and cognitive processing across individuals, which can be influenced by factors such as age, experience, and attentional abilities.
Temporal summation: This refers to the integration of multiple stimuli that occur over time, resulting in a single perceptual experience.
Spatial summation: This refers to the integration of multiple stimuli that occur in different locations, resulting in a single perceptual experience.
Motion integration: Also known as spatiotemporal integration of motion signals, this refers to the processes by which visual system integrates the motion of objects over time.
Naive spatiotemporal integration: This occurs when spatiotemporal regularities are present in the environment and the visual system uses them to perceive the world more efficiently.
Predictive coding: This refers to the phenomenon where the brain makes predictions about upcoming stimuli based on past experiences, and then integrates this new information with the existing perceptual experience.
Feature binding: This refers to the process by which the brain integrates different features of an object (such as color and shape) into a unified perceptual experience.
Neural synchrony: This refers to the phenomenon where different neurons in the brain synchronize their firing patterns to integrate different aspects of sensory information.
Cross-modal integration: This refers to the integration of information from different sensory modalities (such as vision and hearing) to create a unified perceptual experience.
Temporal weighting: This refers to the process by which the brain gives greater weight to more recent sensory information when integrating it with past experiences.
