Call for Papers
Deadline July 30, 1999
The workshop on Object Perception and Memory (OPAM) has evolved into a
stimulating forum for researchers to present work in Visual Cognition. The
workshop will include work on object perception and memory, as well as
work in related areas of visual cognition, including attention, scene
perception and spatial processing. In the tradition of previous OPAMs, the
1999 meeting will take place the day before the Psychonomic Society
Meeting in Los Angeles, California in the conference hotel. This notice is
to encourage you to attend and to consider presenting your research on
object/scene perception, recognition, and memory. Papers will be selected
according to the following guidelines:
1. To ensure the highest quality presentations submissions will be
reviewed by both the organizing committee and outside reviewers.
2. To ensure that we hear as many ideas as possible, greater priority will
be given to those who did not present last year.
3. Submissions will first be ranked based upon their internal and external
reviews. The final selection of presentations will have a slight bias for
graduate students over post-docs and professors (due to the fact that
individuals with Ph.D.s can present at Psychonomics). The goal of OPAM is
to provide high quality presentations in addition to offering young vision
scientists a forum to present their research.
Student Travel Grants
One and perhaps two travel grants (depending on the funds available) will
be awarded to outstanding submissions. Preference will be given to
presenters who do not have other means of travel support to attend this
conference.
Submissions
http://vision.psych.umn.edu/www/OPAM99/submission.html
Submission deadline is Friday, July 30, 1999. Please see submissions page
for details. Please send submissions to Brian Stankiewicz (address above)
by Friday, July 30, 1999, by electronic mail (late submissions will also
be considered, but be given lower priority). All talks will be 15 minutes
long, with an additional 5 minutes for discussion.
We will arrange to have an overhead projector and a slide projector
available for the presentations. If necessary and monetarily feasible, we
may be able to provide a TV/VCR; please let us know as soon as possible if
you would like to make a presentation that requires a dynamic display. In
order to pay for the conference room and AV euipment, it will be necessary
to collect a registration fee ($25 for faculty, $15 for grad students and
post-docs) from all attendees.
You may send the registration fee (see Registration page) with your
submission or pay at the door. Please make checks out to Thomas Sanocki.
