>>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.
