The nervous system analyses sensory information and orchestrates motor
commands. In so doing, it faces challenges that it shares with many
artificially engineered systems. In the spirit of the classic field of
cybernetics, the field of computational motor control makes scientific and
technological progress simultaneously by exploring the differences between
artificial control theory and biological motor control. Computational
motor control is a multidisciplinary research program in which
mathematics, engineering, biology, medicine and the cognitive
neurosciences all play important roles. This workshop will bring
together world leader in the field of computational motor control
including Israeli researchers and distinguished guests. The goal will be
to learn about the current state of the field and to identify the
directions that will provide the medical and scientific breakthroughs of
the next decade.
The posters will be available throughout the day near the lecture hall to facilitate fruitful discussions. We will accept any abstract describing research related to the topics of this workshop (see program below). Please submit a one page abstract of up to 500 words through the website by April 30. In order to encourage high quality of posters we present a best poster award. The award committee will chose the best poster(s) which would be announced at the end of the day. In special cases we will also consider a travel award to partially cover the expenses of international researchers/students that would submit a letter of explanation to akarniel@bgu.ac.il. The criteria for the travel award are: (i) The scientific quality of the proposed poster and its relevance to the topic of the workshop (ii) An interest in pursuing a PhD, post doc or faculty position at Ben Gurion University. Please register before April 30. Registration is mandatory but free. Space may be limited, so please register early. x I am looking forward for this exciting exciting event, |
