Purpose:  Perceptual and motor systems must reflect the natural tasks the organism
performs as well as the properties of the natural environments in which the
organism performs those tasks. Thus, the aim of this workshop is to stimulate
research in "natural systems analysis," which consists of several
interrelated components: (i) identification and characterization of natural
tasks, (ii) measurement and analysis of natural scene statistics, (iii)
analysis of the computational requirements of natural tasks, (iv) rigorous
experimental study of neural and behavioral performance in natural tasks.</span></p>
