MOTOR LEARNING & PLASTICITY SATELLITE MEETING BARCELONA 26–28 March 2004

A 3-day satellite meeting on Motor Learning & Plasticity will be held in Barcelona, immediately preceding the next Neural Control of Movement (NCM) conference in March 2004. The satellite meeting will present recent progress on motor learning and plasticity, covering single-cell recording, functional imaging, transcranial magnetic stimulation, computational theory, psychophysics etc. Topics include (1) Task-dependent dynamic network changes as a result of learning, (2) Plastic changes in motor cortex as a result of motor learning, (3) Neuroplasticity and rehabilitation, (4) Motor learning and internal models

Speakers Barto, Bizzi, Cohen, Donoghue, Doyon, Flanagan, Gerloff, Ghez, Grafton, Hallett, Hikosaka, Ivry, Jaencke, Liepert, Miall, Mussa-Ivaldi, Nudo, Pascual-Leone, Sanes, Seidler, Shadmehr, Swinnen, Taub, Toni, Ziemann,

Date The meeting will last from the morning of March 26 until mid-day on March 28.

Location Hotel Tryp Apolo, Barcelona, Spain, a 4-star hotel close to the old centre of Barcelona, within easy walking distance of La Rambla, the gothic area and the port. Special rates have been obtained for attendants.
