Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There are well-known benefits to multisensory integration in daily activities, as successfully integrating multiple senses enhances the interaction between our body and the external environment. However, the underlying mechanisms affecting bodily perception and movement still require further exploration, as understanding these processes is necessary to investigate their critical role in daily actions, maintaining balance, and navigating through space.
In this Special Issue, we welcome studies integrating multisensory perception of the environment and the body in the presence or absence of locomotion and movement, alongside submissions exploring the effects of sensory disabilities on bodily perception and spatial navigation, which will provide crucial insights into how sensory impairments alter these processes. Studies conducted on children, adults, and special populations that employ both behavioral and neurophysiological methods are welcome.
