[visionlist] phiVis: Philosophy of Vision Science (VSS Satellite Event)

[Chaz Firestone]

Dear colleagues,

I'm excited to announce (the fourth iteration of) a satellite event of 
the annual meeting of the Vision Sciences Society: **phiVis – 
Philosophy of Vision Science**. 

Recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in the intersection 
between vision science and the philosophy of perception. But 
opportunities for conversation between vision scientists and 
philosophers are still hard to come by. The phiVis workshop is a forum 
for promoting and expanding this interdisciplinary dialogue. 
Philosophers of perception can capitalize on the experimental knowledge 
of working vision scientists, while vision scientists will have an 
opportunity to connect their research to longstanding philosophical 
questions. The workshop will feature short talks by philosophers of 
perception that engage with the latest research in vision science, 
followed by prepared comments by vision scientists, on topics such as 
visual awareness, representational alignment, color vision, and more.

This year's event will take place on **Tuesday, May 21, from 
12:30pm-2:30pm ET**, and will be held **onsite at VSS** (in the 
Banyan/Citrus Room at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in St Pete 
Beach, FL). The in-person event is open to VSS attendees; a limited 
number of non-VSS-attendees may also attend virtually. The event will 
feature the following talks:

**Ian Phillips (Johns Hopkins) | From Inattentional Blindness to 
Blindsight: Why Degraded Awareness (Not Unconscious Perception) Should 
Be Our Default Hypothesis**
with comments by Jeremy Wolfe (Harvard)

**Rosa Cao (Stanford) | Comparing Brains and Models: What Matters for 
Similarity?**
with comments by Talia Konkle (Harvard)

**Tiina Rosenqvist (Dartmouth) | Seeing with Color: Psychophysics and 
the Function of Color Vision**
with comments by Bevil Conway (NIH)

There will also be a more informal gathering at the Demo Night BBQ; find 
our table there for wine and good company.

You can learn more about the phiVis workshop at our website 
— [www.phivis.org](https://www.phivis.org/) — and also in the 
attached flyer.

**Registration is free**, though we ask that you please formally sign up 
to attend through our registration links: [in 
person](https://www.phivis.org/events/phivis-4-philosophy-of-vision-science-workshop);
