The ultimate manifestation of behavior is through movement, and execution of goal-directed actions. Understanding the principles underlying our ability to perceive, understand, plan and generate goal directed movements is a fundamental research question in Cognitive Neuroscience.

​

This Seminar addresses a fundamental question in Cognitive Neuroscience , namely, the principles underlying our ability to successfully interact with our environment. Despite decades of research on goal-directed actions in humans, our understanding of the corresponding systems neuroscience perspective is still lacking behind the knowledge in other domains, e.g. object perception. By bringing together researchers from a wide range of disciplines with a focus on goal-directed actions we hope to narrow the gap.
