Sensorimotor Integration in the Whisker System

Sensorimotor integration, the dynamic process by which the sensory and motor systems communicate with each other, is crucial to humans' and animals' ability to explore and react to their environment. This book summarizes the main aspects of our current understanding of sensorimotor integra...
