    MOTOR CONTROL SUMMER SCHOOL

    We invite bright, open-minded graduate students, postdoctoral

    fellows, and young professionals to apply for admission to the

    Motor Control Summer School # XII
    (MCSS-XII). MCSSXII

    will be a five-day event,
    May 28 – June 1, 2015. It will

    include an arrival day (May 28), three days of sessions (May

    29-31), and a departure day (June 1). We plan to bring together

    6-10 faculty and 30-40 students
    selected from the pool of

    applicants.

    The preliminary list of speakers:

    ask for clarifications, and raise issues related to their own

    research.
    Poster sessions will run throughout the meeting

    including the evening hours
