<p>Organizers: Ole Kiehn, Claire Wyart, Auke Ijspeert, Hans
Bräuner-Osborne, and Finn Cilius Nielsen</p>
<p>The Benzon symposia are international conferences on front line
research in medical, pharmaceutical and related sciences funded by
the Alfred Benzon Foundation.</p>
<p>The idea of the 67<sup>th</sup> Benzon Symposium <b>“Bringing
Circuit for Movement Together”</b> is to bring together the
world’s leading scientist together who work in different areas of
movement control and regulation. A particular aspect is that the
conference will bridge the sensory, cognitive, and emotional
aspects of movement control as well as new computation approaches.
With its lay-out it will create an intense and interactive
environment for both young and experiences scientist.</p>
<p>The Symposium will be a four-day scientific meeting, Monday to
Thursday from 09:00 to 17:30. The format will be a combination of
state-of-the-art lectures by invited speakers, selected
oral-poster presentations and poster sessions.</p>
