[visionlist] First edition of the Seeing and Acting Workshop (SAW). University of Coimbra, Portugal, 21-23 September 2023

[Jorge Almeida]

Dear colleague,

We are very pleased to announce the first edition of the *Seeing and Acting
Workshop (SAW)* that will take place at the Faculty of Psychology and
Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra, *September 21-23, 2023*
in Coimbra, Portugal.

For the first edition of SAW, we have an exciting and stimulating group of
Invited Speakers:

·  *Laurel Buxbaum*, Moss Rehabilitation Research Institute, USA

·  *Erez Freud*, York University, Canada

·  *Leyla Isik*, Johns Hopkins University, USA

·  *Nancy Kanwisher*, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA

·  *Bradford Mahon*, Carnegie Mellon University, USA

·  *Alex Martin*, National Institute of Health, USA

·  *Ricarda Schubotz*, University of Münster, Germany



The goal of SAW is to provide a forum for cognitive science/neuroscience
researchers from a range of perspectives who are interested in Perception
and Action, broadly construed, to come together to discuss their research
and develop new directions and collaborations. The format of the workshop
is intended to encourage extensive discussion among participants. To this
end, we have scheduled only a small number of invited speakers, and there
are no concurrent talks. In addition to the individual seminars, there will
be a poster session for students, postdocs and other researchers to present
their work.





*Abstract submission for posters closes on September 1, 2023*. The five
best abstracts whose first author is a student or postdoc will receive a
200 euro award sponsored by ANTneuro.



Registration for the workshop is now open. To register, submit a poster
abstract, or for more information, please visit:

assigned on a first come, first served basis. To secure your place, please
register as soon as possible. Note that you can register now and submit an
abstract later (but before the September 1, 2023 deadline).

Psychology and Educational Sciences of the University of Coimbra, Portugal.
