- Where?
- University of Surrey
- Open to:
- Public, Staff, Students
In conjunction with the Department of Psychology and the University of Manchester, in August 2006 we hosted the International Workshop on Biologically Inspired Information Fusion. The workshop was sponsored by the University of Surrey's Institute of Advanced Studies and the EPSRC under grant number EP/E012795/1.
About the Workshop
The workshop is sponsored by the University of Surrey's Institute of Advanced Studies. The aim is to promote collaboration between disciplines to develop an understanding of how to build adaptive information fusion systems by improving our knowledge from both natural and artificial systems research. The programme is designed to facilitate a cross-discipline understanding of multi-sensory fusion, with discussions on key topics and future directions, and presentation of current ideas. This is to be achieved through tutorials from leaders in each of the target disciplines, brainstorming and debate sessions lead by relevant researchers, and both oral and poster presentations from research students.
Example topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sensory and multi-sensory processing: neurobiology, behaviour, computational modelling and artificial sensors
- Vision, audition, olfaction, taste, touch
- Attention: pre-attention or task-driven attention
- Emotional bias on senses
- Artificial sensors
- Information fusion and multi-modal systems
- Computer vision, speech processing, gesture recognition
- Sensor fusion
- Multiple regressor or classifier systems
- Biometrics, human-computer interaction, intelligent systems
- Bio-logically inspired robotics
