Use of hierarchical Bayesian framework in MTS studies to model different causes and novel possible forms of acquired MTS

Cogn Neurosci. 2015;6(2-3):144-5. doi: 10.1080/17588928.2015.1057487. Epub 2015 Jun 26.

Abstract

An integrative account of MTS could be cast in terms of hierarchical Bayesian inference. It may help to highlight a central role of sensory (tactile) precision could play in MTS. We suggest that anosognosic patients, with anesthetic hemisoma, can also be interpreted as a form of acquired MTS, providing additional data for the model.
