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 decades.

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 May 15.
