Advances in Computational Motor Control VI

Symposium at the Society for Neuroscience Meeting
Friday, November 2, 2007, 1:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Convention Center, Room 23A, San Diego CA

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).
