Sensory systems overview

Proteins are important from the nutritional and technological points of view. Proteins affect every property that characterizes a living organism, and they play different roles in the human body. Proteins are also very important in food technology and are responsible for many food properties. The physical properties of proteins and their interactions with other components contribute significantly to the functional behavior and quality of several food products, such as cheese, bread, and meat products (9). An overview of the functional roles of proteins in different food systems is presented in Table 2. Food preferences by human beings are based not on nutritional quality but on sensory attributes to the food, such as appearance, color, flavor, texture, and... 

This chapter has a primary focus on the sensory-motor control function. First, it introduces several important concepts relating to sensory-motor control, accuracy of movement, a performance resource, and a performance capacity. Second, it provides an overview of apparatuses and methods for the measurement and analysis of complex sensory-motor performance of the upper-limbs (cf. lower-limbs and oculomotor system) by means of tracking tasks.
