Symposia

CVS organizes a symposium in alternate years on a theme of current importance in vision research. These meetings, of which there have so far been 25 bring in about 20 authorities to speak on topics related to a theme of current interest. The last two were "Blurring the Borders Between Vision, Cognition, and Action" and "Statistical Learning and Brain Plasticity." Attendance numbers between 100 and 350 scientists from around the world. General discussion of the issues raised follows each session of talks.
