Dear Sir or Madam,
Please find below information on a EURESCO Conference in Life Sciences, =
which may be of particular interest to you.
Deadline is coming up soon...This may be your last chance to apply!=20
Scientific programme, application form and further practical information =
are accessible on-line via <http://www.esf.org/euresco/03/lc03110> =

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
=20
Chair: Markus Lappe (Westf. Wilhelms Universit=E4t M=FCnster, D)
Vice-chair: Daniel Wolpert (University College London, UK)
=20
Invited speakers: Aaron Bobick (Atlanta, US); Vittorio Gallese (Parma =
U., I); Concetta Morrone (Milan U., I); David Burr (Florence U., I); =
Martin Giese (MPI T=FCbingen, D); Aftab Patla (Waterloo U., CA); Holk =
Cruse (Bielefeld U., D); Werner Graf (CNRS Paris, F); Frank Pollick =
(Glasgow U., UK); Jacques Duysens (St. Maartens, NL); Laurence Harris =
(York U., CA); Maggie Shiffrar (Rutgers U. US); Luciano Fadiga (Parma =
U., I); K-P. Hoffmann (Bochum U., D); Niko Troje (Bochum U., D); Randy =
Flanagan (Queens U., CA); Marco Iacoboni (UCLA, US); Lucia Vaina (Boston =
U., US); Martha Flanders (Minnesota U., US); Marc Jeannerod (CNRS Bron, =
F); Bill Warren (Brown U., US); Maarten Frens (Erasmus MC, NL); Markus =
Lappe (M=FCnster U., D); Daniel Wolpert (UCL, UK).

Scope: 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
Support: A certain 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.
