    In the PREFACE to the Book containing the papers presented at the Conference
    on Motor Control during the Fall of 1999 we wrote: "We look forward to
    further developments in the field of Motor Control which is a challenging
    and exciting life theme. We would like to believe that the organization of
    the Forum on Motor Control is a step towards future communication among
    clinicians and scientists in their efforts to understand the "mysterious
    functions" of our Brain, aiming at a final outcome of improving the daily
    motor activity of patients with posture and gait incapabilities."

    Looking forward to welcome you in Bulgaria!

    On behalf of the Organising Committee,

    Nikolai GANTCHEV
