Conference on the Neurophysiological Foundations of Visual Perception
Abstract
A Conference on the Neurophysiological Foundations of Visual Perception was held in Badenweiler, West Germany from 29 June to 3 July, 1987. In attendance were 75 scientists from all areas of vision research including the fields of anatomy, computer science, optometry, ophthalmology, physiology, and psychology. The participants were divided into individual working groups, each of which concentrated on a particular area of vision research. Each group presented a summary of the current state of the field for all conference participants. In this summary the participants emphasized the correlations between neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, psychophysics, and perception. The presentations were followed by extensive discussions that included all conference participants. Subsequent to the conference, each working group wrote a chapter to present their views on the state of the field in terms that can be understood by students and vision researchers working in other areas of specialization. These chapters will be published in a book by Academic Press in 1989.
