Sensorimotor decoding: characterization and modeling for rehabilitation and assistive technologies: Volume III

The understanding of how sensory information is coded, processed, and related to motor actions is critical to developing effective rehabilitation protocols and assistive technologies, such as neural modulatory procedures and brain-machine interfaces. An important question is whether there is a sensorimotor 'common coding' or whether afferent information can be dissociated from efferent information. Likewise, it is critical to know how does a neuroplasticity process, related to a rehabilitation protocol, affect and is affected by this afferent-efferent relationship? Depending on how the sensorimotor code is understood, different mathematical and computational techniques for decoding the associated neural patterns can be adopted. Therefore, what are the best strategies to characterize, identify, and classify sensorimotor patterns? How do these strategies impact the development of protocols and assistive devices for people with sensorimotor dysfunctions? What are the best signal features and parameters associated with these decoding strategies?

This Research Topic aims to gather insightful articles to increase our knowledge regarding the mathematical and computational techniques applied to the characterization, identification, and classification of sensorimotor patterns. Mainly, we welcome novel insights into either computational modeling or data analysis techniques that can help to clear the whole of sensory processing into motor control and vice-versa. Additionally, how can these approaches be associated with rehabilitation protocols and assistive technologies to improve their performance and effectiveness?
