The nervous system analyzes sensory information and orchestrates motor commands. In so doing, it faces challenges common to many artificially engineered systems. In the spirit of the classic field of cybernetics, the field of computational motor control makes scientific and technological progress by simultaneously exploring the differences between artificial control theory and biological motor control. Computational motor control is a multidisciplinary research program in which mathematics, engineering, physiology, medicine and the cognitive neurosciences all play important roles.

The workshop will bring together world leaders in the field of computational motor control in order to learn about the current state of the field and to identify anticipated and emerging medical and scientific breakthroughs in this exciting field.
