DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal requests support for a meeting entitled, "Multisensory Interactions Subserving Orienting Behavior," a satellite to the twelfth Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neural Control of Movement. The meeting will be held April 14-16, 2002, at the Naples Beach Hotel in Naples, Florida. There has never been a meeting on multisensory behavior flanking the NCM meeting. The meeting will allow participants to easily participate in both the satellite and the main NCM meeting, as the last day of the symposium ends Tuesday evening, in tandem with the registration and reception for the main NCM meeting. The satellite centers on how inputs from different sensory modalities (visual, auditory, vestibular, & somatosensory) are combined at different stages in the CNS of different animal species to guide purposeful spatial behavior. It will provide a unique opportunity to bring together top researchers in the field. Dedicated meetings on multisensory orienting behavior have been rare. A notable exception was the satellite to the IBRO World Conference on Neuroscience (Niigata, Japan, 1995) many years ago. More recently, the International Multisensory Research Forum has organized two meetings (Oxford, UK, 1999, and Tarrytown, NY, 2000) which emphasized largely perception rather than spatial behavior. Our symposium will begin with a keynote lecture by Barry Stein. His seminal work on the neurophysiological and developmental aspects of multisensory integration in the cat superior colliculus, and in several of its cortical input areas, touches the very heart of the problems addressed in this satellite. The meeting will then progress over 2 days, organized as three symposium sessions per day. The first day deals with subcortical and cortical mechanisms underlying multisensory orienting, as well as multisensory 'exotica.' The second day covers developmental and plasticity phenomena, clinical aspects, and multisensory-evoked behavior. A dedicated Poster and Demonstration session on Computational Models will be held on the second day. In addition, two general poster sessions are planned at the end of the two afternoon breaks, though posters will be on display during the entire meeting to allow ample access. Symposium sessions will typically be 2 1/2 hours long, during which four speakers will have a half-hour (including 5-10 mins. discussion), leaving ample time for a general discussion between the audience and the session participants. Session leaders are all acknowledged leaders in their respective disciplines. They will govern the content of their sessions and select the subtopics and contributors in conjunction with the organizers. Students and post-doctoral fellows are specifically encouraged to attend and participate, and a scholarship program will target and enhance this important aspect of the meeting.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案请求支持题为“多感官交互促进定向行为”的会议，该会议是运动神经控制学会第十二届年会的卫星会议。会议将于2002年4月14日至16日在佛罗里达州那不勒斯的那不勒斯海滩酒店举行。 NCM 会议旁边从来没有召开过关于多感官行为的会议。此次会议将使与会者能够轻松参加卫星会议和 NCM 主会议，因为研讨会的最后一天将于周二晚上结束，与 NCM 主会议的注册和招待会同时进行。该卫星的重点是如何在不同动物物种的中枢神经系统的不同阶段将来自不同感觉方式（视觉、听觉、前庭和体感）的输入结合起来，以指导有目的的空间行为。它将提供一个独特的机会来聚集该领域的顶尖研究人员。关于多感官定向行为的专门会议很少见。一个值得注意的例外是多年前的 IBRO 世界神经科学会议（日本新泻，1995 年）的卫星。最近，国际多感官研究论坛组织了两次会议（英国牛津，1999 年和纽约塔里敦，2000 年），会议主要强调感知而不是空间行为。我们的研讨会将以巴里·斯坦因的主题演讲开始。他在猫上丘及其几个皮质输入区域的多感觉整合的神经生理学和发育方面的开创性工作触及了这颗卫星所解决问题的核心。会议将持续两天，每天举行三场研讨会。第一天涉及多感官定向的皮层下和皮层机制，以及多感官“奇异”。第二天涵盖发育和可塑性现象、临床方面和多感官诱发行为。第二天将举行专门的计算模型海报和演示会议。此外，计划在两个下午休息结束时举行两次一般海报会议，但海报将在整个会议期间展示，以提供充足的访问空间。研讨会的会议时间通常为 2 1/2 小时，其中四位演讲者将有半小时的时间（包括 5-10 分钟的讨论），为观众和与会者之间的一般性讨论留出充足的时间。会议领导者都是各自学科领域公认的领导者。他们将管理会议的内容，并与组织者一起选择子主题和贡献者。特别鼓励学生和博士后研究员出席和参与，奖学金计划将针对并加强会议的这一重要方面。
