Searching for Principles in Motor Control - 2nd Edition

September 22-23, 2026 | Bordeaux

After the success of the first edition held in Paris in 2025 under the implulsion of Claire Wyart, Charlotte Le Mouel and Julien Bouvier, a two-day workshop is organized in Bordeaux in 2026, from September 22nd (afternoon) to 23rd (morning). This event will serve as a platform to unite the french scientific community engaged in research on sensorimotor control in humans and other animals, encompassing a diverse range of approaches from neurophysiology to human-machine interactions.

Here again, the main objective is to gather and strenghen the links between researchers and students who constitute the French scientific community working on motor control, whatever the models (Human / animals) and methodological expertises (from neurophysiology to human-machine interactions).

Alongside invited speakers, 8 short talks selected from submitted abstracts will also be featured, together with poster presentations.

The workshop will take place from the afternoon of the 22nd of september and the morning of the 23rd of september at the Neurocampus department of the University of Bordeaux.
