<p>Dear computational neuroscientists,</p>
<p>The conference below with a wonderful list of speakers might
interest researchers working on modeling motor control. Please
check it out and submit abstracts if interested. The call for
abstract is now open until May 1st.<br>
</p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<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>
