Abstract
The neurobiological problem is addressed of how the brain might build an internal representation of external egocentric space by fusing the information from different sensory modalities. The proposed model is b ased on self-organizing topology representing networks, activated by m ulti-modal sensory vectors. The learnt representation is invariant to coordinate transformations and can support an active planning function by exploiting the lateral connectivity of the network.
