York CVR Vision Science Summer School

The Centre for Vision Research at York University in Toronto is  
pleased to announce a one-week, all-expense-paid undergraduate summer  
school on the topic of vision science.  The program will run May  
20-26, 2007.

The program includes talks and demonstrations by CVR faculty on  
current research topics in vision science, as well as hands-on  
projects in CVR laboratories.  The curriculum reflects the wide range  
of active research areas at CVR, which includes basic research on  
vision in humans, animals, and machines, as well as applied topics  
such as virtual reality and visual perception in low-gravity  
environments.  The program will accept 20 undergraduate students who  
are interested in pursuing a career in scientific research.

The program provides on-campus accommodations, breakfast and lunch  
each day, a closing banquet, and reimbursement for transportation costs.

Speakers include James Elder, Mazyar Fallah, Laurence Harris, Denise  
Henriques, Michael Jenkin, Richard Murray, David Regan, Jennifer  
Steeves, Laurie Wilcox, Hugh Wilson, and others.
