Organization

The school is organized by Dr Gunnar Blohm, the Canadian Action and Perception Network (CAPnet) and the Queen's University Centre for Neuroscience Studies. It receives funding from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) via an NSERC-CREATE training grant on the Computational Approaches to Sensorimotor Transformations for the Control of Actions, from Queen's University Office of Research Services and from MITACS via the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM).

The organizing committee of this summer school is composed of sensory-motor experts from the University of Western Ontario, York University, McGill University, University of Montreal and Queen's University. Our goal is to provide hands-on training in computational techniques relevant to sensory processing and the control of movement. We have designed this summer school to be unique in its kind with a stong emphasis on the link between theory, experiments and the clinics. This multi-disciplinary approach reflects our research philosophy and corresponds to the ideal training environment from which we would like our own students and postdocs to benefit.
