The lecture was created in honor of Professor Boynton’s contributions
to the Optica vision community, and will be presented at the 2024 OSA
Meeting in York, UK. Professor Boynton (1924-2006) was the recipient
of numerous awards including the Ives and Tillyer awards, and was
elected to the National Academy of Sciences and Society of
Experimental Psychologists. As a young professor at the University of
Rochester, he founded the Center for Visual Science.

Previous Boynton Lecturers include Rhea Eskew (2001), Russell De
Valois (2003), Joel Pokorny and Vivienne Smith (2005), Gerald Jacobs
(2007), David Williams (2009), Dennis Dacey (2011), Jack Werner
(2013), David Brainard (2017),  Christine Curcio (2019), Andrew
Stockman (2022) and Rachel Wong (2023).

Nominations may be made by any member of the vision community.
Previously considered nominees are eligible to be re-nominated. The
nomination should consist of an email briefly highlighting the
nominee’s impact on the field of vision science. The nomination email
can be co-signed.

Nominations will be reviewed by the Optica Fall Vision Meeting
planning committee.
