Sensorimotor Control and Learning is a groundbreaking
text that provides a uniquely integrated treatment of
sensory and motor processes, reflecting the latest
research trends in both neuromotor control and the
perceptual sciences. Richly illustrated and written in a
clear and concise manner, the book emphasizes the
intimate links between sensory and motor processes,
providing an integrated view of perception and
action.Features of the book: * Emphasis on the
multidisciplinary nature of the subject, which makes the

The latest research in the field, including a unique
introductory treatment of control theory * Boxes
highlighting and explaining more than 100 key terms,
definitions and concepts throughout the text * Essential
background material on neuroscience, biomechanics and
engineering, making it a self-contained book for
students * Over 600 high-quality illustrations by the
author Sensorimotor Control and Learning is an
