[vslist] ICPA conference Australia - extended deadline

[Paul Treffner]

12th International Conference on Perception and Action (ICPA 12)

This will occur July 13 - 18, 2003, Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Australia:

http://www.int.gu.edu.au/%7Es227447/ICPA-conf/index.htm

We welcome both oral, poster, and workshop submissions that address 
relevant issues related to perception and action. The deadline for orals 
and posters has been EXTENDED to January 17th.

A workshop on goal-directed activity in embodied agents (both human, 
non-human, and artificial) is currently being planned.

More generally, the topics addressed at ICPA (and by the International 
Society for Ecological Psychology community in general) provide 
foundational material and data on issues that any designer of intelligent 
systems or artefacts would find of interest. The focus is psychological but 
the applicability is extensive.

Topics such as visual and auditory perception, dynamical systems models of 
action, human and animal cognition, neurodynamics, haptic perception, event 
perception, speech perception and production, human-computer interaction, 
social coordination, virtual reality vs. direct realism, embodied 
intelligence and robotics, the nature of attention, intentionality, and 
affordances - are typical of the topics presented and discussed at ICPA.

This is the first time ICPA will have been held in the Southern Hemisphere 
and we're very pleased to be hosting it on the Gold Coast. I hope you will 
consider joining us in July 2003 either as an attendee or as a presenter.
