Translational and  Computational Motor Control (TCMC) 2014

an exciting day of movement research in collaboration with ASNR!

Renaissance Washington DC Downtown hotel (map), Renaissance Ballroom, East Salon

Friday November 14, 9am - 6:05 pm

Morning Session (Translational): 9am-noon

Afternoon Session (Computational): 1:15pm-6:50pm

see also the ASNR meeting page or the abstract submission page

Invited talks: Hartwig Siebner, Kathleen Cullen

The 2014 meeting will be held at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington DC.  The morning will focus on clinical and translational work while the afternoon will focus on computational issues. We encourage both communities to attend the entire day to facilitate cross-pollination between computational and translational work.   Last year the morning session had an attendance of over 200 and the afternoon session an attendance of about 300.

Abstracts are competitively peer reviewed with the top 6-10 submissions in each session accepted for 22-minute oral presentations (6 minutes of which is reserved for questions). Accepted abstracts will be published as a conference proceedings.

We look forward to seeing you there!
