  • Call for abstracts- SEB session on 'Integration of active andpassive control mechanisms in locomotion'

    Dear colleagues,

    We are organizing a symposium entitled 'Integration of active and
    passive control mechanisms in locomotion' for the upcoming annual SEB
    main meeting in Glasgow.

    This session will bring together researchers from the fields of
    musculoskeletal biomechanics, neuromechanics, neurophysiology and
    robotics, with the goal of stimulating discussion and debate. The
    session includes keynote lectures and invited talks from a number of
    leaders in these fields. You can find more information online at:
    http://www.sebiology.org/meetings/Glasgow/Animal-Biology-Sessions.html

    We are also accepting submitted talks for this session. If you are
    considering attendance at SEB this year, we encourage you to submit an
    abstract through the online submission system before 19th March 2009
    (http://www.sebiology.org/meetings/Glasgow/Call-for-Papers.html). On
    the 2nd page of the abstract submission process, you will be able to
    choose 'Integration of active and passive control mechanisms in
    locomotion' from a drop-down list.

    The SEB Annual Main Meeting has an active Biomechanics Section with
    around 100 delegates. Sessions organised by the Biomechanics Section
    span all four days of the conference (4 days of talks and 2 evening
    poster sessions), and cover a wide range of topics in comparative
    biomechanics and neuromuscular function. The biomechanics sessions do
    not run in parallel, allowing delegates to attend all related sessions.
    This creates a congenial 'mini-conference' atmosphere that facilitates
    stimulating discussion and encourages full participation of students and
    postdocs.

    If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.

    Best wishes,
    Dr Monica Daley (mdaley@rvc.ac.uk)
    Dr Andrew Spence (aspence@rvc.ac.uk)
