[BAINGIO Pinna]

The 35th ECVP - European Conference on Visual Perception
2-6 September 2012, Alghero, Italy



ECVP in 2012 will be held in Alghero, Sardinia, Italy from Sunday the 2nd of September to Thursday the 6th of September 2012 at the Conference Centre, situated in front of the beach, a few minutes from the town centre. For detailed information about ECVP please visit the following website: http://www.ecvp2012.uniss.it/

This year ECVP is being organized by Baingio Pinna assisted by his group of Form & Perception Lab, as well as by the Dept. of Architecture, Design & Planning at Alghero.

Alghero lies on the northwest “Coral Coast” of Sardinia, one of the most beautiful and well-known places in Sardinia and an ancient Catalan fortress on the sea, with its great bastion walls, cobbled streets of its historic centre, ancient houses and churches in little piazzas. Alghero, with its wonderful beaches and their emerald water, is a real pearl on the Mediterranean Sea.

We are honored to have two prestigious speakers for our plenary sessions at ECVP 2012:

Sunday 2nd September 2012 at 18.00, Giacomo Rizzolatti (University of Parma) - Rank Prize Lecture.
Wednesday 5th September 2012 at 18.00, David Burr (University of Florence) - Perception Lecture.

ECVP 2012 will feature participant initiated talk sessions, which will address important topics in vision research. There will also be a number of social events, such as a beach party, a Gala Banquet with traditional Sardinian music and dances, etc.

In 2012, ECVP will be twinned to the VISUAL SCIENCE OF ART CONFERENCE (VSAC), which is the first edition of a worldwide academic conference aimed at studying scientific interactions between vision science and art. We very much hope that there will be many of you who would be interested in attending both meetings. For more information, please visit the website of VSAC: http://www.ecvp2012.uniss.it/index.php/eng/VSAC/

In addition, VSAC and ECVP 2012 will hold a special exhibition called “IllusoriaMente” (in English both illusorily and the illusory mind) dedicated to the memory of the late Prof. Richard Gregory and Prof. Tom Troscianko and celebrating the ingenuity and creativity of both VSAC and ECVP attenders in producing attractive scientific/artistic products ranging from visual illusions to all kinds of experimental tools/procedures to applications/implementations of theories, mechanisms and principles ruling the visual system.
