Cameron Carter "ACNC 2013 Keynote: Understanding Cognitive and Emotional Processing in Schizophrenia"
A growing body of data suggest that while multiple neural systems in the brain are engaged during cognitive control, a general purpose dorsal prefrontal/cingulate/parietal network plays a key role in supporting processing requiring high levels of control in a manner that cuts across both traditio...

Bevil Conway "Colour Group (GB) Annual Vision Meeting 2014: The organization and operation of color circuits in inferior temporal cortex"
The talk focuses on color as a model system to gain traction on how cortical circuits function to bring about high-level perception and cognition. After a brief review of the putative neural mechanisms for color contrast in V1, Conway turns his attention to the great swath of extrastriate cortex ...

Marko Nardini "SVG 2014: Computation and Learning in Visual Development"
In a special issue marking 30 years since the publication of Marr’s Vision (Perception 41:9, 2012), Poggio proposed an update to Marr’s influential “levels of understanding” framework. As well as understanding which algorithms are used for computations such as stereo or object recognition, we als...

Jasna Martinovic "Conferenza del Colore 2014: Interactions between Colour and Luminance Signals in Object Classification"
Conferenza del Colore 2014: Interactions between Colour and Luminance Signals in Object Classification The visual system processes objects embedded in complex scenes that spatially vary in both luminance and colour. However, most models of object recognition posit that the processing of object ...

Jason Mattingley "ICON 2014 Keynote: Eye Movements and Visual Stability"
Humans, like many animals, use eye movements to selectively sample the visual environment, bringing objects of interest onto the fovea for fine-grained analysis. Each time a saccade is made, the retinal image is abruptly displaced. The challenge for the visual system is to maintain perceptual sta...

Bruno Olshausen "VSS 2015 Keynote: Vision in Brains and Machines"
Vision Sciences Society Keynote Lecture 2015: Vision in Brains and Machines The past twenty years have seen important advances in both our understanding of visual representation in brains and in the development of algorithms that enable machines to 'see.' What is perhaps most remarkable about th...

Mandyam Srinivasan "VSS 2014 Keynote: More than a Honey Machine: Vision and Navigation in Honeybees and Applications to Robotics"
Flying insects are remarkably adept at seeing and perceiving the world and navigating effectively in it, despite possessing a brain that weighs less than a milligram and carries fewer than 0.01% as many neurons as ours does. Although most insects lack stereo vision, they use a number of ingenious...
