is best thought of as a complex, highly integrated process involving thousands of ensembles of sensory information from the periphery that are processed by a network of neurons
Sensory motor control
COMPONENTS OF SENSORY-MOTOR CONTROL
Vision
Touch
Proprioception
Hearing
Taste
Smell
Vestibular
the sense associated with the visual sensory system.
Vision
the detection of specific characteristics of the object, person, or environment through tactile sensory receptors in our skin that are part of our somatic sensory system.
Touch
five movement-related characteristics influenced by tactile sensory information that the CNS receives from touch
Movement accuracy
Movement consistency
Movement timing
Movement force adjustments
Estimate movement distance
the sensation and perception of limb, trunk and head position and movement.
Proprioception
a mechanical sense. It turns physical movement into the electrical signals that make up the language of the brain, translating these vibrations into what we experience as the world of sound.
Hearing

a Japanese word that roughly translates to yummy
Umami
olfactory receptors cells are located in a mucous membrane at the top of the nose
