the inside story", or go to the Hayward gallery (www.Hayward.org.uk) to see
the "Eyes, lies and Illusions" exhibition.

A half day workshop on Wednesday 1st December on "fMRI and eye movements"
will be chaired by Mark Greenlee.  Please contact Richard Clement
(r.clement@ich.ucl.ac.uk) for further details.
