Motor control - from neural circuits and diseases to neuroprosthetics

EPFL SV- Life Science Symposium - Lausanne, VD, Switzerland

Every year the School of Life Sciences at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) holds a major international symposium on its campus: the EPFL Life Science Symposium (LSS).

This year's edition, the LSS2013, will be organized by the Brain Mind Institute (BMI). It will take place August 28th-30th, 2013 in Auditorium SG1 (SG building) under the title "Motor Control - from neural circuits and diseases to neuroprosthetics".

This two and a half-day event is structured around several aspects of motor control that will each feature several high profile speakers from around the world:

motoneurons and spinal cord circuits
motor cortex
motor planning and action selection
basal ganglia & Parkinson's disease
neuroprosthetics & brain machine interfaces
