Events

We have a regular Sensorimotor Control Group Talk where each member of the group and invited people can give a talk. The talk is usually about a presentation of a recent paper, a literature review relevant to a research, a grant proposal, a research update, a challenging lab result for discussion, a practice run through of a talk/poster presentation to be given elsewhere, hosting a visiting speaker, etc...
