This collection of contributions on the subject of the neural
mechanisms of sensorimotor control resulted from a conference held
in Cairns, Australia, September 3-6, 2001. While the three of us
were attending the International Union of Physiological Sciences
(IUPS) Congress in St Petersburg, Russia, in 1997, we discussed the
implications of the next Congress being awarded to New Zealand. We
agreed to organise a satellite to this congress in an area of
mutual interest -the neuroscience of movement and sensation.
Australia has a long-standing and enviable reputation in the field
of neural mechanisms of sensorimotor control. Arguably this reached
its peak with the award of a Nobel Prize to Sir John Eccles in 1963
for his work on synaptic transmission in the central nervous
system. Since that time, the subject of neuroscience has progressed
considerably. One advance is the exploitation of knowledge acquired
from animal experiments to studies on conscious human subjects. In
this development, Australians have achieved international
prominence, particularly in the areas of kinaesthesia and movement
control. This bias is evident in the choice of subject matter for
the conference and, subsequently, this book. It was also decided to
assign a whole section to muscle mechanics, a subject that is often
left out altogether from conferences on motor control. Cairns is a
lovely city and September is a good time to visit it.
