SYMPOSIUM ANNOUNCEMENT
***************************************
Announcing the Center for Visual Science's 28th Symposium
Computational Foundations of Perception and Action
June 1-3, 2012
University of Rochester
Rochester, New York
Conference Website: Http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/symposium.html
Overview
**************
The 28th Symposium of the Center for Visual Science will bring computational, neurophysiological and psychophysical researchers together who study the computational foundations of problems in sensory and perceptual processing ranging from low-level sensory coding to higher-level aspects of perception and action such as cue integration, decision-making and sensorimotor control. Much of the research discussed at the meeting focuses on the visual system; however, included in the symposium will be speakers who study other sensory and motor systems, and multisensory processing involving vision and other modalities. The goal is to provide a forum for investigating the common foundational computational principles that underlay the many seemingly different functions of sensory systems (as well as how they differ) and to discuss how to link computational theories to underlying mechanisms to gain a deeper understanding of perceptual behavior. With this in mind, we have invited speakers who bring together computational and experimental approaches - whether that be by developing computational theories of human / animal performance, by conceptualizing and designing experimental studies to test computational theories or both.
