[visionlist] Active Vision VII - call for abstracts

[Eugene]

7th ACTIVE VISION WORKSHOP 
12th September 2005 
University of Reading UK 
 
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS 
The Active Vision Workshop is an annual meeting for researchers who share the opinion that vision is used proactively to interrogate our surroundings, rather than passively responding to external stimuli.  Eye movements are, in many situations, a good index of attention.  This meeting attempts to redress the balance that was once tipped in favour of covert measures of attention. The workshops are intended as informal settings in which ongoing research projects can be aired and opened up for discussion.  We welcome contributions from diverse subject areas including the study of eye movements and the role of vision in action and locomotion.  We also hope to encourage attendance and participation of researchers from the fields of computational and robotic vision as we feel that these would be a valuable addition to the meeting and would make an important contribution to discussions.  The email list that this message has been sent  to is unlikely to include everyone it should, so we would be grateful if you could pass this message on to anyone who you think might be interested in the meeting. 

GUEST SPEAKER
I am proud to announce that Prof. Jan Theeuwes (Vrije Universiteit) will deliver the invited lecture this year
