CAS Events

The Action Control Laboratory at University of Oregon (headed by Ian Greenhouse) and scientists from the Germany-based Max Planck Institute, which carries out basic research in the life sciences, natural sciences, and the social and human sciences—are collaborating in the area of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) brain mapping with particular emphasis on the sensori-motor cortex. A neuroscience conference held at the UO in October 2026 will provide the occasion to discuss collaborative research opportunities and develop grant proposal ideas 

The Action Control Lab is in the Department of Human Physiology at the UO. This lab studies how the brain controls movement. For example, how do humans initiate and cancel prepared movements, and what underlies variability in our actions? To answer these types of questions, scientists use a combination of behavioural testing, electrophysiology, brain stimulation, and neuroimaging methods. They study both healthy individuals and patients with movement disorders.  

The MPI group has developed and is developing sophisticated algorithms for precise TMS-based brain mapping, while the Oregon group applies those techniques to their research on the neural computations for human action control. This work has basic science and clinical relevance.

This event is part of International Education Month (IEM) programming. View the full calendar of IEM events here: https://international.uoregon.edu/IEM.

Japan is shrinking. How are its cities and towns responding?

Traditionally, Japanese local governments, encouraged by national policy, have sought to halt or reverse their decline by luring urban migrants, increasing birth rates, attracting businesses, and curbing outmigration. This obsession with growth threatens to exhaust already limited resources, closing windows of opportunity for managing a soft landing.

Eventually, continuous shrinkage will force local governments to abandon growth-focused planning and redesign their communities: they must learn to shrink gracefully. Some municipalities are already charting this different course. This presentation argues that shrinking municipalities must break free from pro-growth strategies, embracing more sustainable approaches. These cities are putting socio-environmental concerns at the centre of their strategies, identifying new ways to transition successfully into smaller, sustainable communities.
