Abstract:
The 33rd Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neural Control of Movement (NCM) brought together over 500 experts to discuss recent advancements in motor control. This article highlights key topics from the conference, including the foundational mechanisms of motor control, the ongoing debate over the context-dependency of feedforward and feedback processes, and the interplay between motor and cognitive functions in learning, memory, and decision-making. It also presents innovative methods for studying movement in complex, real-world environments.
