34th Annual Meeting Program
Our members drive the NCM Annual Meeting program. NCM member perspectives, research, ideas and outlook ensure a rigorous meeting program while providing valuable contributions to ongoing research on motor control. Through a variety of topical multi-author sessions and individual presentations (oral or poster), the meeting provides a rare diversity of style and content that is unique and stimulating.
We look forward to welcoming all members of the NCM community to Panama City, Panama for the 34th annual meeting of the society.
Please note the times listed are in local time for Panama City (EDT).
