North East Vision Conference

Monday 21st and Tuesday 22nd of March 2011

 

   The "North East Vision Conference" organized by the Centre for Vision
and Visual Cognition (Durham University) and the Institute of
Neuroscience (Newcastle University) is now open for registration.

 

The conference offers specialists and non-specialists in vision an
overview of the research going on in the North East of England ranging
from animal behaviour, human psychophysics, human neuroimaging, primate
pharmacology, human neuropschology, computer science and cutting-edge
rehabilitation using retinal prosthesis. Oral sessions and poster
presentations, scheduled in the morning and in the afternoon, are
complemented by two public lectures held in the evening targeted to
wider audience.

 

Thanks to the generosity of the Wolfson Research Institute in
collaboration with the Centre for Vision and Visual Cognition, the
Institute of Neuroscience and the Biophysical Science Institute the
conference is free of charge.

 

Since we have limited space for the conference, registration is
essential. Please use the following form to register:
