>Overview
>**************
>The 28th Symposium of the Center for Visual 
>Science will bring computational, 
>neurophysiological and psychophysical 
>researchers together who study the computational 
>foundations of problems in sensory and 
>perceptual processing ranging from low-level 
>sensory coding to higher-level aspects of 
>perception and action such as cue integration, 
>decision-making and sensorimotor control.  Much 
>of the research discussed at the meeting focuses 
>on the visual system; however, included in the 
>symposium will be speakers who study other 
>sensory and motor systems, and multisensory 
>processing involving vision and other 
>modalities. The goal is to provide a forum for 
>investigating the common foundational 
>computational principles that underlay the many 
>seemingly different functions of sensory systems 
>(as well as how they differ) and to discuss how 
>to link computational theories to underlying 
>mechanisms to gain a deeper understanding of 
>perceptual behavior. With this in mind, we have 
>invited speakers who bring together 
>computational and experimental approaches - 
>whether that be by developing computational 
>theories of human / animal performance, by 
>conceptualizing and designing experimental 
>studies to test computational theories or both.
