title: Integrate, yes, but what and how? A computational approach of sensorimotor fusion in speech.
abstract: We consider a computational model comparing the possible roles of "association" and "simulation" in phonetic decoding, demonstrating that these two routes can contain similar information in some "perfect" communication situations and highlighting situations where their decoding performance differs. We conclude that optimal decoding should involve some sort of fusion of association and simulation in the human brain.
