European Workshop on Movement Science EWOMS
Vienna, Austria, June 2-4, 2005
http://www.vu-wien.ac.at/i111/www/EWOMS-2005/welcome.html
SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
BACKGROUND
The workshop seeks to provide a forum for researchers from various
disciplines that work, broadly defined, on problems of sensorimotor
function. It offers an opportunity for researchers from across Europe to
convene and to present their research to an interdisciplinary audience.
The impetus for this workshop is the dissatisfaction with the current
fragmentation of movement science research across scientific
disciplines. This fragmentation is bound to lead to limited familiarity
and insights of theoretical concepts and empirical findings that are
made in disciplines other than one's own. An exchange of knowledge
across disciplines, addressing similar issues from biological,
psychological, sport scientific, neurological, neurophysiological,
physiological, biomechanical perspectives will contribute to a more
unified, coherent model of the processes, capacities and nature of motor
control. The emphasis of the workshop will be on human movement, but
contributions based on non-human sensorimotor research are invited too.
WORKSHOP FORMAT
The workshop will consist of:
a) Plenary presentations by leading experts addresssing areas of
general interest to the movement science community. Each presentation
will be followed by a short invited commentary. Afterwards the
discussion will be opened by the plenum, where every member of the
audience is invited to engage in the discussion.
b) Poster sessions organized in thematic sessions. Unlike in many
other workshops and conferences, these poster sessions will be placed in
prominent places of the workshop program. No concurrent sessions will
divert attention. They are integral part of the workshop and allow for a
detailed presentation of your research to an interdisciplinary audience.
c) Mini-symposia. These small symposia will center around a common
theme and include 4-5 short oral presentations. The contributions in a
mini-symposium should approach the theme from different,
interdisciplinary view points. Each presentation will have 5 minutes for
discussion.
It is believed that this set-up will promote an in-depth knowledge
exchange between researchers in different disciplines from different
European countries.
The following is a tentative list of topics.
· Cognitive and neuropsychological aspects of locomotion
· Neural systems and control, central motion pattern generation
· Biomechanics of bones, muscles, joints and tendons,
neuro-muscular activity
· Sports Sciences - Normal, athletic and comparative locomotion
· Dynamical systems perspective of locomotion
· Computer simulations in locomotion research
· Brain interfaces, functional electrostimulation
· Mechanical reconstruction - Prosthetics, Orthotics, Robotics
· Other movement related topics
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS
The following keynote speakers have confirmed their attendance at the
workshop as keynote speakers:
§ Axel Cleeremans, Brussels, Belgium
§ Carlo J. De Luca, Boston, USA
§ Sten Grillner, Stockholm, Sweden
§ Marc Jeannerod, Bron/Paris, France
§ Gregor Schöner, Bochum, Germany
§ Heinz Ulbrich, Munich, Germany
CALL FOR PAPERS
We invite movement researchers from diverse areas such as Biology,
Psychology, Sport Sciences, Neuroscience, Biomechanics and Robotics to
contribute. Contributions consist of submissions for posters, and
mini-symposia. Abstracts of posters should be submitted electronically
via the workshop website. They should not exceed 400 words, and should
include the title of the presentation, keyword, author(s), author
affiliations, email address, telephone and fax numbers. Until Dec 20th,
2004 there will still be a possibility to edit the text after submission.
Minisymposia will be submitted by a convenor and will include an
abstract of the minisymposium, and the abstracts of the participants to
the minisymposium (with the format indicated above)
All abstracts of accepted contributions and participants' names and
addresses will be published on the internet and will be printed in the
abstract book (Proceedings) of EWOMS 2005. During the workshop, authors
of high quality contributions will be invited to submit an article to a
special issue of Human Movement Science.
We especially encourage researchers and students from the new EU member
states to participate.
