The Laboratory for Movement Biomechanics (LMB - ETH Zurich) together with the Center for Research in Human Movement Variability (MOVCENTR - UNO Omaha) is organizing a 4-day workshop bringing together researchers and experts from different fields to explore the latest advancements and research on biomarkers arising from nonlinear analysis of movement variability. The workshop will equip you with tools for understanding the control of movement and posture in various pathologies, towards developing better prognostic and diagnostic approaches. The workshop also provide a unique opportunity for you to network and collaborate with experts and peers in the field of nonlinear analysis of movement variability.

During the workshop, participants will learn about the underlying mathematics and clinical applications of state-of-the-art techniques and tools for assessing nonlinear characteristics of movement: Complexity, Divergence, Regularity, and Recurrences in human movement research (but also other biological signals e.g., heart rate, respiratory rate). The programme includes keynote presentations from world leading experts, think-tank sessions to share opportunities and challenges for fundamental investigations in nonlinear analysis of movement variability, and Consult with Experts sessions to meet one-to-one with experts to discuss and plan your research journey using non-linear analysis tools. A great list of speakers has already been confirmed including Prof. Nick Stergiou, UNO Omaha, Prof. Madalena Costa, Harvard Medical School, Prof. Norbert Marwan, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, and many others.

Participants with varied backgrounds (research scientists, clinicians, educators, and students) are welcome since we include a strong practical component with class discussions and hands-on practice to facilitate understanding of the methods.
