Sensorimotor Integration

Sensorimotor integration refers to the process by which our brain combines sensory information (what we see, hear, feel) with our motor responses (how we move our body). This integration allows us to interact with the environment effectively. Psychophysical laws, such as Weber-Fechner, describe how changes in stimulus intensity relate to human perception. For instance, as a light gets brighter, we perceive it as increasingly bright, but not in a linear way. Understanding sensorimotor integration helps us appreciate how our brain interprets sensory information to guide movements, influencing actions like catching a ball or navigating through space.
