13-th MOTOR CONTROL SUMMER SCHOOL IN ISRAEL!
We invite bright, open-minded graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and young professionals to apply for admission to the Motor Control Summer School # XIII (MCSS-XIII). MCSS- XIII will be a five-day event, June 21 – 25, 2016. It will include an arrival day (June 21), three days of sessions (June 22-24), and a departure day (June 25). We plan to bring together 6-10 faculty and 30-40 students selected from the pool of applicants.
The preliminary list of speakers:
Antonio Bicchi (IIT, Pisa, Italy)
Anatol Feldman (University of Montreal, Canada) Mark Latash (Penn State University, USA)
Mindy Levin (McGill University, Canada)
Monica Perez (University of Miami, USA)
Robert Scheidt (Marquette University, USA) Gregor Schöner (Rühr University, Germany)
John Rothwell (University College of London, UK)
The program will include interactive seminars led by the faculty. Students are encouraged to interrupt the speakers, ask for clarifications, and raise issues related to their own research. Poster sessions will run throughout the meeting including the evening hours.
Each participant will pay his/her expenses. There will be no tuition fee, and the speakers will receive no compensation for their participation. All participants will get a formal certificate of attendance to help them get reimbursed through whatever means they have at their disposal.
