SUMMARY:The master puppeteer: how the brain controls the body - Professor 
 Daniel Wolpert
DTSTART:20100319T180000Z

CONTACT:Dr David Chapman
DESCRIPTION:The effortless ease with which humans move our arms\, our eyes
 \, even our lips when we speak masks the true complexity of the processes 
 involved. This is evident when we try to build machines to perform human t
 asks. While computers can now beat grand-masters at chess\, no computer ca
 n yet control a robot to manipulate a chess piece with the dexterity of a 
 six-year-old child. How the brain is able to learn to generate such skilfu
 l movement is one of the most intriguing questions in neuroscience and the
  focus of Professor Daniel Wolpert's lecture \n\n
