{{Perception and Action - an Interdisciplinary Approach to Cognitive Systems Theory}}
<h3>Aims and Scope</h3>

<p> The goal of this workshop is to bring together an interdisciplinary group of theorists, roboticists, and
neuroscientists to focus on sensorimotor integration as an important basis of cognition. The workshop
will consider three particular themes: 1) thalamo-cortical relationships and their role in sensorimotor
integration, 2) robotics and the far-reaching implications of the fact that cognitive systems are embodied,
and situated agents, and 3) systems-theoretic aspects of sensorimotor integration in the context of
theory and philosophy (representation, relevance of information, prediction, regulation, and control).</p>
