SUMMARY:&quot\;The Master Puppeteer: How the Brain Controls the Body&quot\
 ; - Prof Daniel Wolpert\, Department of Engineering

CONTACT:Dr Xavier Moya
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 generate such skillful moveme
 nt is one of the most intriguing questions in neuroscience and the focus o
 f Daniel Wolpert's talk.
