[visionlist] OSA Vision Meeting

[Joseph Carroll]

We are pleased to announce the 11th Annual Optical Society of America Vision
Meeting, scheduled to take place at the University of Washington, Seattle
from the 16th to the 18th of September, 2011. Visit
http://www.osavisionmeeting.org/2011/conf/ for information, updates, and
registration information as it becomes available.

Since 2001, the OSA Fall Vision Meeting has grown as a high-quality,
low-cost conference focused on all aspects of the visual system . This year,
we are fortunate to be located at the University of Washington, Seattle with
its thriving Psychology  <http://web.psych.washington.edu/>, Ophthalmology
<http://depts.washington.edu/ophthweb/>, Biological Structure <
http://www.biostr.washington.edu/>, and Physiology & Biophysics
<http://depts.washington.edu/pbiopage/index.php> departments.

This year's meeting includes invited sessions on color vision, connectivity
maps in the brain, the aging visual system, rehabilitation and adaptation to
visual impairment, and ³what the brain doesn¹t see². In addition, thanks to
generous support from OSA and Cambridge Research Systems  we are pleased to
announce the return of "The Classics of Vision Science" in which four
distinguished vision scientists will each present one of their classic
papers.  This year we are honored to have Gerald Westheimer, John Robson,
Tom Cornsweet, and Anita Hendrickson taking part in this event.

The meeting will also contain two contributed talk sessions and a variety of
contributed poster presentations. The confirmed program of invited speakers
is listed below. Last, but not least, we are pleased to announce that
Professor Dennis Dacey from the University of Washington has been chosen to
deliver this year¹s Boynton Lecture, named in honor of Robert M. Boynton.
