Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I am writing on behalf of the organising committee to
invite you to attend the forthcoming Fifth Annual Perception and Action
Symposium to be held on Saturday March 24, 2001, at Deakin University,
Melbourne. The Melbourne Campus of Deakin University is at 221 Burwood
Hwy., Burwood 3125.
The 2001 Symposium is again a one-day event, maintaining our tradition
of bringing together those interested in the interactions between
perception, attention, and action. In previous years the delegates have
represented a variety of disciplines, such as Psychology, Ergonomics,
Neuroscience, Movement Science, Engineering, Medicine, Physiotherapy and
Occupational Therapy. It is open to academics, students and
practitioners. The symposium is expected to attract approximately 80-100
delegates. There is no registration fee.
For next year’s Symposium the format will be a keynote presentation
followed by commentaries from a small panel of invited respondents. In
addition the Committee will encourage delegates to submit, in advance of
the meeting, a brief comment and question for the keynote speaker’s
response. The committee will review these submissions with a manageable
number selected for a public response on the day. We will invite these
submissions for “Delegates’ Question Time” at a later date when you have
had the opportunity to review the keynote speaker’s presentation. A copy
of Professor Lee’s address will be made available on the website within
the next few weeks.
The keynote speaker will be Professor David Lee from Edinburgh
University. Professor Lee’s academic profile, and other information, can
be obtained from our website:

Look forward to seeing you all next year.
