Dear Hoover,
Can you please send this out in time for ARVO?
The ARVO SIG, "Modelfest: Vision Modeling - Progress and Future Plans"
will meet this year on Monday, May 10, 2-4 P.M., room 315.
We invite all those interested to participate in the group discussions.
The discussions will focus on year one data collection results, plans
for
year two and related vision modeling issues. For more details on the
year-
one effort point your browser to:
http://www.neurometrics.com/projects/Modelfest/IndexModelfest.htm
Invited speakers will present topics for general group discussion. The
speakers are listed below. If you are interested in modeling
human vision, please attend and join in on the discussions. This
project offers a new cooperative approach for developing models
of human vision.
Hope to see you at the meeting,
Thom Carney
Neurometrics Institute
