🧠NCM Meeting - Panama City
Image credit: [NCM])The Neural Control of Movement (NCM) 2025 meeting took place in Panama City from April 28 to May 2, and Martin and Constanze were there to present some of our latest research.
In his poster presentation entitled “The importance of 3D information in virtual obstacle avoidance: Effects of perceptual uncertainty and feedback”, Martin shared findings a study investigating how people navigate around obstacles in virtual and augmented reality environments. The work explored how factors such as contrast and illumination influence movement strategies and planning.
Beyond the scientific programme, NCM 2025 offered plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues from around the world — and, in true Panamanian style, to sample exceptional local chocolate and rum. A few wildlife encounters, including the country’s famously laid-back sloths, made the trip even more memorable.
