The Neural Basis of Motor Control
This meeting brought together experts in the field of motor control and will encompass both vertebrate and invertebrate (and robotic) systems. Talks and discussions focused on the neural processes underlying movement, including the characterization of spinal cord neurons, sensorimotor circuits, muscle synergies, motor learning and brain-machine interfaces. We were able to enjoy hearing an historic perspective, as well as the current state of the art in these areas.
