Three-Dimensional Sensory and Motor Space
EuroConference on Computational Mechanisms for the Generation and =
Perception of Action in 3D Space
Acquafredda di Maratea (near Naples), Italy, 5-10 April 2003
Chair: Markus Lappe (D, Westf. Wilhelms Universit=E4t M=FCnster, D)
Vice-chair: Daniel Wolpert (UK, University College London, UK)
Speakers will include: Aaron Bobick (Atlanta, US); David Burr (Florence =
U., I); Holk Cruse (Bielefeld U., D); Jacques Duysens (St. Maartens, =
NL); Luciano Fadiga (Parma U., I); Randy Flanagan (Queens U., CA); =
Martha Flanders (Minnesota U., US); Maarten Frens (Erasmus MC, NL); =
Vittorio Gallese (Parma U., I); Martin Giese (MPI T=FCbingen, D); Werner =
Graf (CNRS Paris, F); Laurence Harris (York U., CA); K-P. Hoffmann =
(Bochum U., D); Marco Iacoboni (UCLA, US); Marc Jeannerod (CNRS Bron, =
F); Markus Lappe (M=FCnster U., D); Concetta Morrone (Milan U., I); =
Aftab Patla (Waterloo U., CA); Frank Pollick (Glasgow U., UK); Maggie =
Shiffrar (Rutgers U. US); Niko Troje (Bochum U., D); Lucia Vaina (Boston =
U., US); Bill Warren (Brown U., US); Daniel Wolpert (UCL, UK).

Scope of the conference: This meeting will focus on the computational =
mechanisms and strategies that allow us to generate and perceive =
movement and action in space. This includes the control of body stance, =
locomotion and goal-directed actions. Both the perception and the =
execution of these tasks are computationally very difficult, as many =
parameters in different frames of reference have to be integrated and =
controlled simultaneously. Over the last few years there have been more =
and more indications that the perception of motor actions might be =
supported by mechanisms that are very similar to those in control of =
these actions. Special emphasis will be placed on the following topics: =
Links between perception and action, Control of posture and stance, =
optic flow, Control of locomotion, Perception of biological motion, =
Control of action sequences, Recognition of action sequences. Poster =
sessions will be organised.
=20
Deadline for applications: 24 January 2003
=20
Financial support: A number of grants will be available for young =
researchers (35 or under) who are nationals of a Member State of the =
European Union or of an Associated State and who are active inside or =
outside these Member or Associated States at the time of the event. =
Associated States are: Bulgaria, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, =
Estonia, Hungary, Iceland, Israel, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, =
Norway, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Applications from female =
researchers are encouraged.
