Computational modeling has had a growing impact
on the field of motor control. The goal of this symposium is to look beyond
empirical observations and focus on the deeper principles of motor function
underlying those observations. A second
goal is to provide an annual forum to hear some of the best new work on
computational motor control. The work
will be presented by the people most directly responsible for it.
This year’s program includes
2 invited and 10 contributed talks. The
contributed talks were chosen from 24 submitted abstracts. Each abstract was reviewed by three
referees. This year’s referees were: Amy
Bastian (Johns Hopkins), John Krakauer (Columbia University), Robert Scheidt (Marquette University), Opher Donchin (Ben Gurion University), Konrad Kording
(Northwestern University), Joern Diedrichsen (University of Wales), Maurice
Smith (Harvard University), Steve Scott (Queen’s University), Eilon Vaadia (Hebrew University),
John Kalaska (University of Montreal), Kurt Thoroughman (Washington
University), Daniel Wolpert (University of
Cambridge), Stephan Schaal (University of Southern
California), Reza Shadmehr (Johns Hopkins), and Emo Todorov (UCSD).
