early part of their research career. The award is named in memory of one of
Britain's most distinguished vision researchers.
The AVA is pleased to announce that:
For his pioneering research on visual experience, particularly his
psychophysical studies challenging the role of vergence (eye rotation) in
size and distance perception, his theoretical work developing new theories
of 3D vision and the ‘perception’ / ‘cognition’ distinction, and his recent
work developing new illusions of visual experience.* The AVA has decided to
award the Marr Medal for 2025 to Dr Paul Linton*, NOMIS Foundation Fellow
at the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies, Columbia University, and
Presidential Scholar in Society and Neuroscience at the Centre for Science
and Society, Columbia University.
