Submission instructions:
There are no submission fees. The acceptance rate for talks has historically been around 30%. The abstract submission deadline for MLMC 2025 will be October 1.
Abstract submission consists of a 2-page PDF (1 page of text & a 2nd page primarily of figures and their captions). The main text should be ≥ 11pt with a line spacing of ≥ 1, and figure captions should be ≥ 9pt. Successful abstracts from previous years are available here. See the link at the bottom of this page to submit an abstract.
Submissions are competitively peer reviewed by our program committee of over 40 leading experts in motor control and motor learning, and reviewer comments will be provided. The top submissions will be accepted for 22-minute oral presentations (6 minutes of which is reserved for questions). If you are a faculty member willing to review about 5 abstracts, please send a message to mlmc.conference@gmail.com.
