Neural control of movement 2018

We participated in this year’s annual meeting of the Neural Control of Movement Society. The meeting took place in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and it featured a variety of presentations related to motor control, including motor learning, neuromodulation, clinical case studies, brain-controlled interfaces, and non-invasive and invasive brain stimulation methodologies.

The meeting was highly interdisciplinary, and it has exposed us to interesting problems being investigated with respect to how the brain might control body movements.

We presented eye movement control studies, and being in the meeting was a great learning experience to appreciate analogies with and/or differences from controlling
movements of other body parts, like reaching arm movements or locomotion.

The meeting featured an outstanding keynote lecture by Ann Graybiel.
