International Symposium on the Neuromechanics of Human Movement

Heidelberg, DE

Attendance type(s): In Person

Event Dates: 04—6 Oct 2016

The neuromechanics approach to the study of human movements involves an interdisciplinary combination of methods and knowledge from neuroscience, biomechanics and robotics. This symposium is aimed at promoting the dialogue between researchers from these fields. A total of 22 talks will be delivered by leading researchers in the fields of computational neuroscience, biomechanics, clinical gait analysis and rehabilitation robotics. — The keynotes and oral sessions speakers list is available here: http://orb.iwr.uni-heidelberg.de/neuromechanics2016/speakers/ —

The symposium is planned as a 2.5 day single-track event with a focused gathering of researchers and ample time for discussions in formal and informal settings. Total number of participants is limited to about 60, due to the venue facilities. Funding for the symposium comes from the Klaus-Georg and Sigrid Hengstberger Foundation, in support of upcoming researchers at Heidelberg University. As far as possible, the symposium talks and posters will feature an equal distribution of senior and upcoming researchers.
