Sensorikineesi

Sensorikineesi is a proposed interdisciplinary concept describing how sensory information and kinesthetic or motor signals interact to shape perception, action, and learning. The term blends ideas from sensory processing with kinaesthesia, the sense of body movement, and is used mainly in Finnish-language discussions and speculative or educational contexts.

The core idea of sensorikineesi is that perception and action arise from ongoing sensorimotor contingencies: sensory feedback is continuously shaped by movement, and motor plans are informed by current sensory input. This view emphasizes embodiment, prediction, and active exploration, arguing that cognition is inseparable from bodily states and the dynamics of movement.

In practice, sensorikineesi covers areas such as how proprioceptive, visual, and tactile signals integrate with motor commands, how anticipation and intention alter sensory processing, and how learning unfolds through sensorimotor interactions. Research approaches associated with the concept include experimental studies of movement and perception, neuroimaging and electrophysiology to track sensorimotor networks, and computational models that describe how the brain estimates body state and external events from noisy input.

Applications discussed under sensorikineesi include the design of virtual reality and assistive devices, adaptive rehabilitation technologies, sports training, and human–computer interfaces that respond to natural movement. It is not a widely adopted term in peer‑reviewed literature and often overlaps with established fields such as sensorimotor integration, proprioception, embodied cognition, and human–robot interaction.
