/ about
Computational Motor Control is a multidisciplinary research program in which mathematics, engineering, biology, medicine and the cognitive neurosciences all play important roles.
This workshop will bring together leaders in the field of computational motor control. The goal will be to learn about the current state of the field and to identify the directions that will provide the medical and scientific breakthroughs of the next decades.
The annual KCMCW will be preceded by a half-day workshop on the advantages of virtual reality (VR) as a tool for manipulating and assessing properties of voluntary movement, and another half-day hackathon.
