Prerequisites

Contents

• Introduction to sensory systems and sensory processing • Introduction to motor systems and motor commands • The sensorimotor system • Decision making in sensory motor control • Modelling of sensorimotor processes • Diseases affecting sensorimotor control • Ethical aspects in connection with prostheses and experiments with patients

Learning outcomes

After successfully completing the module, students know about how our brain receives and processes sensory information, how it generates motor commands and how these two components closely interact. Students are familiar with different modelling approaches and examples of diseases that affect the sensorimotor system. They will have acquired further insights into the research topic of sensorimotor processing.
