TRAVEL FELLOWSHIPS

for the Workshop

"The first half second: The microgenesis and temporal dynamics of 
unconscious and conscious visual processes"

31 October - 3 November 2003
University of Houston, Houston TX USA


A limited number of travel fellowships are available for junior researchers
(advanced graduate students, post-docs, assistant professors) to attend the
workshop "The first half second: The microgenesis and temporal dynamics of
unconscious and conscious visual processes" to be held at the University of
Houston from Friday, October 31 to Monday, November 3, 2003. 

The objective of the workshop is to provide a venue for laying out important
conceptual, methodological and empirical issues and problems that need to be
addressed when investigating, in an interdisciplinary manner, the temporal  
dynamics of activity in the visual system related to unconscious and conscious
cognitive processes. The workshop will cover the following topics: 
1) conceptual issues in studying conscious and unconscious visual processes, 
2) neurophysiological correlates of dynamic processing in vision, 
3) visual masking as a psychophysical probe into the dynamics of vision, 
4) temporal aspects of attention, 5) temporal characteristics of object 
and feature perception, and 6) the dynamic relation of unconscious and 
conscious processes in vision. 

The speakers are: T. Bachmann, H. Bedell, B. Breitmeyer, R. Dolan, 
J. Enns, G. Francis, M. Goodale, M. Green, M. Herzog, V. Lamme, 
S. Luck, M. Munk, H. Ogmen, M. Potter, T. Ro, E. Rolls, P. Stoerig, 
R. Vorleger.	

Women and minority candidates and those from relatively small
departments with limited opportunities to interact with senior
researchers are especially encouraged to apply. NIH grantsmanship
lectures will be offered as part of the workshop.

To apply, send by August 31, 2003 a 1-page description of research
interests including  a statement of how you would benefit from the
workshop, a resume, and two reference letters to: Haluk Ogmen,
Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, University of Houston,
