[visionlist] A meeting to honor Professor Edward Keller

[Neeraj Gandhi]

[Apologies for multiple postings.]
"Advances in Oculomotor and Vestibular Systems"
The oculomotor and vestibular systems are two of the oldest and most
thoroughly studied systems in the neurosciences. Professor Edward Keller has
successfully contributed to this interdisciplinary field for nearly 40
years. Over this time he has used behavioral, electrophysiological, and
computational methods to investigate mechanisms that control different types
of eye movements. The results of his reputed, thorough, and meticulous
approach have largely stood the test of time.
The satellite meeting preceding the 2010 Neural Control of Movement
conference will honor the scientific career of Professor Keller by
emphasizing advances in oculomotor and vestibular systems. Scientific
presentations will focus on topics centered on brainstem mechanisms,
cortical and cerebellar control, use of the oculomotor and vestibular
systems to study cognitive processes, computational models, and disorders
affecting ocular motility and balance.

A banquet to honor Professor Keller is scheduled for Sunday, April 18. There
will also be a poster session on the night of Monday, April 19. All
appropriate abstracts submitted for posters will be accepted, as long as
enough poster boards are available. The closing reception for the satellite
will be merged with the opening reception of the main conference.
Approximately five abstracts will be selected for oral presentations. These
talks will be integrated within the sessions scheduled for the satellite
meeting. Women, minority and junior colleagues will be granted preference in
the selection process. Deadline for abstract submission is February 15,
2010.
