Dear Hoover: Would you post the second annoucement for "Eye movements
and vision in the natural world" on CVNET? Thanks very much,
-Eileen
--------------------------------------------------
Second announcement:
A symposium entitled:
"Eye movements and vision in the natural world"
will take place on September 27, 28 and 29,
2000, in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The proceedings of the conference will be published as a special
issue of Vision Research.
The conference will bring together researchers whose work has
contributed to the understanding of eye movements and vision
under natural conditions. Natural conditions can be established
by allowing freedom of head motion, by providing richly-
structured 3-dimensional visual scenes, or by studying the eye
movements used to accomplish purposeful cognitive or motor
tasks. We are asking participants to present their latest original
findings and outline a vision for the 21st century in a forum that
is designed to promote lively discussion and debate.
Topics include:
- coordination of movements of the head and eye
- binocular gaze control in 3-dimensional space
- gaze control and eye movements in freely-moving observers
- visual navigation and optical flow
- perception of location and depth in dynamic scenes
- visually-guided reaching
- the role of visual attention and memory in oculomotor programming
- using eye movements to build representations of visual scenes
- strategies for efficient acquisition of visual information in
complex tasks
- neural mechanisms responsible for the planning and initiation
of eye movements
This conference will also serve to honor Professor Han Collewijn
on the occasion of his 65th birthday and formal retirement from
his post as Professor and Chairman of the Department of
Physiology at the Erasmus University, Rotterdam.
Format:
Invited lectures (see below) will provide an overview of recent
developments in the field. All other participants are invited to
submit abstracts for presentation at a poster session to be held on
the third day of the conference. Travel fellowships will be
available for a limited number of young scientists (either students
or those within 5 years of receiving Ph.D.) whose abstracts are
accepted for presentation at the poster session
Speakers:
R.A. Andersen; D. Angelaki; A. Berthoz; E. Brenner; B. Cohen;
C. Colby; J. Enright; J. Epelboim; C. Erkelens; A. Fuchs; M.
Hayhoe; K.P. Hoffman; Z. Kapoula; W.M. King; E. Kowler; F.

For information about registration and accommodations, please
send a short e-mail message to:info@emco.fgg.eur.nl. The message
should refer to the title of the symposium (" Eye movements and vision
in the natural world"), and contain your full address, phone, faxnumber
