[visionlist] 2007 Verriest Medalist: Barry Lee

[Steve Buck]

The International Colour Vision Society is pleased to announce that the 
Verriest Medal will be awarded at the 2007 biennial symposium in Belém, 
Brazil (July 27-31, 2007) to Barry B. Lee, Professor of Biological 
Sciences at the State University of New York, College of Optometry, New 
York, NY, USA.

This award is bestowed by the Society to honor long-term contributions 
to the field of color vision.  Professor Lee is an innovative 
multidisciplinary scientist who has had an extraordinary record of 
productivity.  He has made significant contributions to our 
understanding of basic coding mechanisms in visual processing and is 
recognized for his efforts at bridging the gap between psychophysics 
and physiology.  In addition, through collaborative efforts, he has 
been at the center of the great advances that have been made in the 
last 20 years in unraveling the relations between structure and visual 
function in the retina.  Finally, the Society recognizes his long-term 
service to the society, as member of the board of directors, meeting 
organizer and proceedings editor.

Brazil, at which Barry Lee will give the Verriest Lecture and the medal 
will be presented, can be found at www.ufpa.br/icvs2007
