Speaker and Poster Abstracts, CVR Conference 2019

Welcome to the 2019 Centre for Vision Research and VISTA biennial conference. We are excited to hear from our outstanding list of invited speakers. Let me tell you a little about the Centre here at York University. We are an interdisciplinary, diverse and highly interactive group of thirty six vision scientists along with their trainees who approach vision science from many converging points of view. The group has deep roots going back to the founding influence of Ian Howard in the 1960’s. Our members are drawn from departments of Kinesiology, Biology, Psychology, Computer Science, Physics, Philosophy and Digital Media and our research ranges from basic science through to human performance, engineering and clinical applications. We hope you will have a chance to meet many of us during your visit and visit some of our labs. The topic of predictive vision was selected as embracing, and being consequential to, virtually all approaches to vision-hopefully this conference will give us all something to consider concerning our particular topics of interest, and perhaps make us all look a little differently at visual processes
