The purpose of this workshop is to facilitate interdisciplinary discussions of the neural and social bases of movement and creative movement, that could stimulate new research directions and catalyze creative collaborations integrating the perspectives of scientists, engineers, and artists. The motivating scientific interest for this project is a recognition that the planning and control of movement recruit a broad array of sensory-motor circuits in the brain required for synchronization, improvisation, and coordination, not only within an individual, but also between ensembles of people. From a scientific perspective, creative movement offers a unique experimental paradigm within which a well-controlled set of actions can be examined to understand how the brain accomplishes expressive movements, how it learns them in the first place, how creative movements are coordinated with movements of others, and how such movements are supported by the underlying substrates of sensory-motor networks within the brain.The workshop’s broader goal is to foster collaborations among scientists, engineers, and artists in the study of creative movement in its many dimensions and contexts. It will advance a fundamental understanding of how the brain produces purposeful actions that are central to human well-being and quality of life. Broader impacts include the exploration of creative motion to advance therapeutic and health related goals.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本次研讨会的目的是促进运动和创造性运动的神经和社会基础的跨学科讨论，这可能会刺激新的研究方向，并促进创造性的合作，整合科学家，工程师和艺术家的观点。 对这个项目的科学兴趣是认识到运动的规划和控制需要大脑中广泛的感觉运动回路，这些回路不仅在个人内部，而且在人群之间进行同步，即兴表演和协调。从科学的角度来看，创造性运动提供了一种独特的实验范式，在这种范式中，可以检查一组控制良好的动作，以了解大脑如何完成表达性运动，它首先是如何学习它们的，创造性运动如何与他人的运动协调，以及这些运动是如何由感觉的底层支持的，该研讨会的更广泛的目标是促进科学家，工程师和艺术家之间的合作，在其许多维度和背景下研究创造性运动。它将促进对大脑如何产生对人类福祉和生活质量至关重要的有目的的行动的基本理解。更广泛的影响包括探索创造性的运动，以推进治疗和健康相关的目标。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并已被认为是值得通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估的支持。
