Enhancing performance for perception and action - Multisensory inegration, neuroplasticity & neuroprosthetics

The XXXIInd International Symposium of the Groupe de recherche sur le système nerveux central, entitled "Enhancing performance for perception and action – Multisensory integration, neuroplasticity & neuroprosthetics" will be held on May 10-11, 2010 at Pavillon Roger-Gaudry, room Ernest-Cormier (K-500) at the Université de Montréal. Dr. David Ostry will be a featured speaker in Session 1, "MECHANISMS TO IMPROVE MOTOR PERFORMANCE." His talk, "Sensory plasticity and motor learning" is scheduled for Monday, May 10th at 9:40 p.m.

The objective of the conference is to provide an overview of the various neural mechanisms that contribute to learning new motor and sensory skills, and to adapting to changed circumstances including the use of devices and implants to substitute for lost sensory or motor abilities (brain machine interfaces, BMI).

The symposium will focus on recent developments covering four major themes: 1) Mechanisms to enhance motor performance; 2) Mechanisms to enhance sensory performance; 3) Multisensory interactions and its role in enhancing action and perception; 4) Technological interventions to restore action and perception (BMI).

Submissions are invited for a limited number of poster presentations. A selection will be made from the submitted abstracts.

Deadline for poster submissions: March 31, 2010. Information and registration: http://www.grsnc.umontreal.ca/32s/
