I wonder what this says about the brain, and how it could be applied for AI. It seems to me like we have an innate knowledge that we exist in a 3d space, and that this model somehow can pull data from multiple sensor modalities - at least vision, hearing and touch, oh and the vestibular system (accelerometer). Maybe not smell? (it's both very disimilar from the others, it's also wired up differently, not passing through the thalamus - though that may be a red herring). Edit: Another neat factoid is that there were experiments done where subjects wore glasses that turned the world upside down or mirrored left and right. After about a week people could function normally while wearing those. The brain knows what the world is supposed to look like and is able to figure out the correct transform, and once applied previously learned motor skills are once again fully available. This shows that there is some kind of stable higher level representation that sight feeds into in a flexible way.
