Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sensorimotor processing refers to a process by which sensory information is integrated into a related motor response in the central nervous system. Humans generate the movement through planning and executing
motor programs; however, it is also true that the central nervous system conducts online somatosensory or visual feedback while generating the movement. Sensorimotor processing is, therefore, an intricate process requiring proper orchestration between multiple sources of sensory information, which relies on the proper integration of visual, auditory, and haptic perceptual inputs and efficient interactions with pre-motor and motor cortical areas and the cerebellum.
This Special Issue aims to gather together basic research and clinical studies highlighting motor execution, sensory feedback, and interactions between these phenomena, contributing to movement generation.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
