The Fall Vision Meeting is a high-quality single-track conference focused on advances in all areas of vision science, and includes both invited symposia and contributed presentations. This year Marty Banks is the recipient of the Tillyer Award and will give
a lecture on the 21<sup>st</sup>, and the 22<sup>nd</sup> will include a half-day symposium celebrating the career of Don MacLeod. Each will continue with an evening excursion and banquet dinner sailing majestic Lake Tahoe or visiting the historic mining town
of Virginia City. We welcome and encourage all of Don and Marty’s many friends and colleagues to join us in celebrating their accomplishments.<o:p></o:p></p>

brain at a (fast) periodic rate, the so-called “Steady State Evoked Potential” and its application to human sensory and cognitive processing.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color:#212121"> </span></b><span style="color:#212121">Periodic visual stimulation and analysis of the resulting steady-state visual evoked potential (SSVEPs) were first introduced over 50 years ago as a means to study visual sensation
and perception (Regan, 1966). This approach was then extended to other modalities (auditory, somesthesic). From the first single-channel recording of responses to simple stimuli, to the present use of sophisticated stimulators comprised of complex stimuli
and high-density EEG recording arrays, periodic stimulation methods have been applied in a broad range of scientific and applied settings. The purpose of this workshop is to describe the fundamental stimulation and analysis protocols for EEG frequency-tagging
and to illustrate these principles through research findings across a range of applications in cognitive neuroscience, including clinical and developmental populations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
