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 32nd symposium of the biennial series organized by The
Center for Visual Science (CVS) at the University of Rochester (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.cvs.rochester.edu">https://www.cvs.rochester.edu</a>).
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.
