Today it is sunny and the temperature is expected to reach 25 degrees
Celsius in Santos beaches.
One year from now, the conference Progress in Motor Control VI
(http://pmcvi.iv.fapesp.br) will take place here, Santos, Brazil
(August 9 - 12, 2007).
Progress in Motor Control VI is under the umbrella of the
International Society of Motor Control (ISMC). The purpose of the ISMC
is to promote basic and applied research in the area of the control of
movement of biological systems.
Motor control research is increasingly multidisciplinary.
Understanding the acquisition and performance of voluntary movements
in biological and artificial systems has interested scientists in
different areas such as biology, mathematics, physics, neuroscience,
psychology, kinesiology, physical therapy, and engineering. The
conference Progress in Motor Control VI aims to bring together
researchers from this wide range of disciplines for exciting
discussions on recent progress in the area.
The four-day Conference will include invited presentations organized
in symposia on cutting-edge topics and free poster presentations.
Panel discussions will conclude each symposium. Poster presentations
will be selected from those submitted in response to the call for
papers.
Abstract submission and registration will open on November 1, 2006.
Conference Organization: Marcos Duarte (mduarte@usp.br) and Gil Lucio
Almeida (gillucioalmeida@gmail.com)
