Thursday, November 6
Vancouver, Canada

Submission is now open for this year's OPAM work shop

This is just a quick reminder that we are now accepting 
submissions for this year's OPAM in Vancouver.  (The 
deadline for submissions is July 31.) Please remember to 
register after submitting your abstract.  The early 
registration deadline is October 15.  We now have the 
ability to accept credit card payments via PayPal, which 
will hopefully make the registration process more convenient 
(especially for our foreign attendees).  Simply direct your 
web browser to www.opam.net to submit/register.  (Note: Our 
web page may not display properly in older browsers.)

Please forward this message to anyone not on our mailing 
list who may be interested in presenting at OPAM.

What is OPAM?

OPAM is a conference dedicated to issues in object 
perception, attention (now officially part of the name of 
the conference!), memory and other areas of visual 
cognition. It takes place, each year, on the first day of 
the meeting of the Psychonomic Society. OPAM is intended as 
a forum primarily for scientists early in their careers, 
such as graduate students or post docs. It represents an 
excellent opportunity to present one's work to a large 
audience mainly drawn from the Psychonomics community. 
Research may be presented as either a talk or a poster. We 
would strongly like to encourage submissions from anyone who 
does not yet have the opportunity to present at 
Psychonomics. We would furthermore like to emphasize that 
the conference embraces a diversity of approaches to the 
study of object perception and memory. Such approaches can 
include, for example, psychophysics, developmental 
psychology, or neuroscience.

We are honored to announce that our keynote speaker for this 
year will be Dr. Elizabeth Spelke.

The organizers for this year's OPAM are Alejandro Lleras 
(alleras@psych.ubc.ca), Robert Rauschenberger 
(rauschen@u.arizona.edu), and Yaoda Xu 
(yaoda@wjh.harvard.edu). We hope to see many of you at OPAM.


Thank you,
Alejandro
