It is a great pleasure for us to welcome you to the conference on Action and Visuospatial Attention: Neurobiological Bases and Disorders taking place in Königswinter in November 2000. This conference is devoted to provide an up-to-date forum for the latest basic and clinical neuroscience on apraxia and visuo-spatiai neglect. Emphasis is laid on the anatomy, electrophysiology, neuropsychology and functional imaging of posterior parietal cortex. New insights into the functional role of posterior parietal cortex in visuo-spatial attention, perceptual and premotor aspects of neglect, attention to action, movement planning and action, as weil as apraxia will be provided. Considering the broad spectrum of research and its progressive nature, we intend to bring together basic and clinical neuroscientists covering the field from neuroanatomy through neurophysiology and neuroimaging to neuropsychology in order to allow the critical assessment of current concepts as weil as the development of new concepts and ideas. To achieve this we wish to bring together eminent scientist in the field as weil as young investigators. We are very pleased that the following basic and clinical scientists have agreed to share their latest findings by giving lectures: A. Berthoz, A. Berti, F. Binkofski, D. Boussaoud, F. Bremmer, C. Cavada, R.J. Dolan, J. Driver, G.R. Fink, H.-J. Freund, G. Goldenberg, P.W. Halligan, H.-J. Heinze, M. Jeannerod, R. Leiguarda, J.c. MarshalI, M. Matelli, R.E. Passingham, S. Poil mann, loH. Robertson, A. Sirigu, P. Tass, H.-P. Thier, I. Toni, G. Vallar, P.H. Weiss, K. Willmes, K. Zilles. In addition, more than 40 posters will be presented (a list ofthetopics and the presenters is included in this final announcement). The number of registrants will be limited to 100 in order to allow stimulating interaction between all speakers, poster presenters, and discussants and we will make sure that sufficient time will be available for fruitful discussions of both posters and talks.
