moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.yorku.ca">York
University</a></font> in Toronto, Canada offers a one-week,
all-expenses-paid undergraduate summer school on vision
science. This year's program will be held June 4-8, 2018.<br>
<br>
This year's summer school is being held in cooperation with the
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://vista.info.yorku.ca/">Vision:
Science to Applications </a>(<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://vista.info.yorku.ca/">VISTA) </a>initiative that
will dramatically increase the number of faculty members and
students engaging in vision research at York University in the
coming years.<br>
<br>
The program includes talks by CVR faculty members on current
research topics in vision science, as well as hands-on
experience in CVR laboratories. The curriculum reflects the wide
range of research areas at CVR, which includes research on human
visual perception, computer vision, machine learning, visual
neuroscience, 3D film, immersive environments, and visual
disorders.<br>
<br>
The program accepts undergraduate students who are interested in
pursuing a career in scientific research. It is intended mainly
for students who are planning to apply to graduate school in the
fall of 2018 (for entry in fall 2019), and who are interested in
investigating vision science as an area of research. Citizens of
all countries are eligible. The application deadline is Mar 1,
2018.<br>
<br>
The program covers all transportation costs and provides
on-campus accommodation and meals.<br>
<br>
Application instructions are available on the <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.yorku.ca/cvrss/">CVR
summer school website</a>. The application deadline is March
1, 2018, and applicants will be notified of decisions by March
15, 2018. We expect to accept between 30 and 40 students.<br>
