In addition to the keynote presentations, there will be<br /> topical symposia, along with individual contributions reflecting the<br /> diversity of interests of the members of ICVS. These include<br /> physiologists, psychologists, physicists, engineers, geneticists,<br /> optometrists, ophthalmologists and other related professionals with<br /> interests in colour vision and colour vision deficiencies.<br /> <br /> In addition to the scientific program, lunches, a welcome reception, a<br /> half-day excursion and a banquet will be offered to both attendees and<br /> accompanying persons.<br /> <br /> Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, any of the<br /> following:<br /> * Acquired loss of colour vision in diseases of the retina<br /> * Central processing of colour signals<br /> * Colour in occupational environments<br /> * Colour induction and constancy<br /> * Colour cognition<br /> * Colour in the mesopic range<br /> * Colour vision assessment<br /> * Congenital colour vision deficiencies<br /> * Clinical aspects of colour vision<br /> * Ecology of colour vision<br /> * Effects of ageing on colour vision<br /> * Functional imaging and colour vision<br /> * Genetics of colour vision<br /> * Isolation of chromatic mechanisms<br /> * Object-surface properties, material perception, and related topics<br /> * Peripheral chromatic sensitivity<br /> * Physiology of colour vision<br /> * Unique hues<br /> * Variability in colour vision<br /> <br /> We propose to hold the following topical sessions. You will have an<br /> opportunity to request inclusion on the abstract submission site.<br /> * Colour in Employment<br /> * Melanopsin and colour vision<br /> * Lighting and colour vision<br /> <br /> Scientific Committee<br /> ---------------------------<br /> Marina V.
