The workshop will revolve around three thematic focuses: bottom up and top-down control of perception; response selection; action planning and execution. A specific emphasis will also be placed on special populations exhibiting deficient control processes in perception and action, both as a consequence of acquired (brain damage) and neurodevelopmental (e.g. ADHD, autism) disorders.

Leading scientists will provide a comprehensive assessment of what we currently know about control mechanisms in perception and action, and what are the main questions for future research.
