<p>Under natural conditions, visual processes unfold in the
incessant presence of motor behavior, as visually-guided actions
contribute shaping up the input signals to the retina. Active
vision, the study of vision in the context of natural motor
behavior, has grown and expanded greatly in recent years, in
part due to advances in computational power, display technology,
and tracking of body movements. This symposium will focus on the
indissoluble bond between vision and action. It will cover a
broad array of tightly related topics, including: the visual
consequences of various types of body movements, the role of
motor activity in extracting and processing visual information,
and the visuomotor strategies for controlling behaviors such as
locomotion, reaching, and grasping. By bringing together a
diverse array of viewpoints and creative methodological
approaches to the study of the visual system in action, this
symposium aims to uncover common principles of visuomotor
computation, identify promising research directions, disseminate
knowledge on recent advances in the field, and attract and help
forming a new generation of researchers. <br>
<br>
This is the <a
href="http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/symposium/index.html">32nd
symposium</a> of the biennial series organized by <a
href="http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/index.html">The Center for
Visual Science</a> (CVS) at the University of Rochester. CVS
symposia are highly interactive meetings with a group of invited
speakers and an audience of 100-200 participants. Scientific
sessions include talks and poster presentations. Ample time is
given for debates of ideas and hypotheses, with sessions
specifically dedicated to general discussions and a program
designed to promote interactions. Because of their highly
interactive nature, CVS symposia provide great opportunities for
students and post-doctoral fellows to engage in deep discussions
with leading scientists in the field.<br>
