LCCC Focus Period on Learning and Adaptation for Sensorimotor Control
The purpose of this focus period five week focus period (October 8 to November 9) is to gather outstanding researchers with complementing competences in learning, control, robotics and neuroscience to stimulate exchange of ideas and inspire new research directions. The focus period will include a workshop with approximately 22 distinguished speakers, to be held in Lund, October 24-26, 2018.
The workshop takes place at the Pufendorf Institute. On October 23 there will be a small gathering at Pufendorf (17h- approx. 19h) for the already arrived participants to meet, mingle and register.
Two courses will be given during the focus period. For more information click on the links below:
