About OPAM: The OPAM conference is dedicated to issues in object perception,
visual attention, and visual memory.  It takes place each year on the first
day of the meeting of the Psychonomic Society.  OPAM is intended as a forum
primarily for scientists early in their careers, such as graduate students
or post-docs, and it represents an excellent opportunity to present one's
work to a large audience mainly drawn from the Psychonomics community.
 Research may be presented as either a talk or a poster.  We strongly
encourage submissions from researchers who do not yet have the opportunity
to present at Psychonomics.  The conference embraces a diversity of
approaches, including psychophysics and eye-tracking, developmental
psychology, neuroscience, etc. Talks are published as short conference
papers in Visual Cognition, promoting the rapid dissemination of
high-quality work to the academic community.

*** Important note *** Thanks to the enthusiasm of the community in
presenting  at OPAM, the conference has grown rapidly in recent years. While
the number of submissions increases each year, the capacity of our poster
and talk sessions has remained roughly the same size. In the event that the
number of submitted abstracts exceeds our capacity estimates, OPAM will
create a waiting list and make final decisions about acceptance of these
wait-listed abstracts after we have confirmed our allowable poster space.
This will expedite acceptance notifications for the vast majority of OPAM
presenters and prevent overbooking of our venue, which would crowd our
session and might leave some presenters without poster space. In determining
wait-listed submissions, we will consider status of the presenter,
submission quality, and scope. Please feel free to contact us if you have
any questions about this process before submitting.



Donations:  We are a non-profit organization, supported only by sponsorships
and a small grant from the NIH. With the help of our sponsors, we are
working hard to try to bring another year of free registration.  If you or
your organization would like to help support OPAM, please consider making a
contribution.  We accept donations via various methods. Please visit our
website www.opam.net or contact one of the organizers about how to make a
contribution.
