KSS 6344-0

Brief

The course provides an overview of the sensory and motor systems of the nervous system responsible for regulating movement. Sensory systems including somatosensory, proprioception, visual, and auditory systems, and how these systems relate to movement, are discussed considering their fundamental roles in motor control. Discussion of the sensory system focuses on peripheral, as well as central brain physiology for processing each type of sensory signal. By the end of the class, students will have a broad understanding of how the human brain controls the movements and how those systems can be improved by training.
