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>

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.<br>
