Joint ICNR/WeRob Special Session on Neuromechanical Modeling and Rehabilitation Robotics
Web: http://neurotech.nre.bccn.uni-goettingen.de
The 3rd International Conference on NeuroRehabilitation (ICNR 2016) and the 2nd International Symposium on Wearable Robotics (WeRob 2016)
18 – 21 October 2016, Segovia, Spain

************************************************** **********************
Abstract:
This Special Session focuses on emerging and rapidly developing areas at the intersection between neuromusculoskeletal modeling, biomechatronics and wearable technologies. It will showcase innovative research aimed to increase our understanding of motor function and impairment as well as how wearable assistive devices can contribute to modulate, replace or restore human motor capacity. Furthermore, It will discuss how subject-specific features of anatomy, physiology, and impairment can be accounted for in the development of truly personalized assistive solutions. Finally, it will serve as a forum to examine future key challenges in the field and promising strategies for addressing them
Speakers:
- Hartmut Geyer (Carnegie Mellon University, USA)
- Gregory S. Sawicki (North Carolina State University and University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA)
- Herman van der Kooij (University of Twente and Delft university of Technology, The Netherlands)
- Cor Meijnecke (Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands)
- Amy Wu (École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland)
- Friedl De Groote (KU Leuven, Belgium)
- Jan Veneman (Tecnalia, Spain)
- Nicola Vitiello (Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa, Italy)
- Manish Sreenivasa (Heidelberg University, Germany)
- Massimo Sartori (University Medical Center Göttingen, Germany)
Call for Contributions:
This Special Session is currently open to poster contributions only. All contributors (i.e. poster and oral) must submit a 2-page abstract manuscript. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed. Accepted contributions will appear in the Conference Proceedings, which will be published as a book by Springer. Authors of the best papers will be invited to submit a substantially extended version of their papers for their publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Neural Systems (Impact Factor: 6.507).

Important Dates:
- Manuscript submission deadline: April 1, 2016.
- Notification of manuscript acceptance: May 15, 2016.
Workshop Organizers:
- Massimo Sartori (University Medical Center Göttingen, Germany)
- Manish Sreenivasa (Heidelberg University, Germany)
