Recent \;years have seen a resurgence of interest in the intersection between \;vision \;science and the philosophy of perception. But opportunities for conversation between \;vision \;scientists and philosophers are still hard to come by. The \;phiVis \;workshop is a forum for promoting and expanding this interdisciplinary dialogue. Philosophers of perception can capitalize on the experimental knowledge of working \;vision \;scientists\, while \;vision \;scientists will have an opportunity to connect their research to longstanding philosophical questions. The workshop will feature short talks by philosophers of perception that engage with the latest research in \;vision \;science\, followed by prepared comments by \;vision \;scientists\, on topics such as probabilistic representation\, multisensory perception\, the relationship between low-level and high-level vision\, and more. Our first event\, a satellite event of VSS 2021\, drew nearly 300 attendees\; we are now gearing up for Round 2!
\nOur event will take place on \;Monday\, May 16\, from 3:30pm-5:30pm ET\, and \;will be held \;onsite at VSS \;(at the TradeWinds Island Grand Resort in St Pete Beach\, FL). The in-person event is open to VSS attendees\; a limited number of non-VSS-attendees may also attend virtually. The event will feature the following talks:
\nMohan Matthen (University of Toronto): Material Objects in Multimodal Perception
with comments by Viola Stö\;rmer (Dartmouth)
Nico Orlandi (UC - Santa Cruz): Bayesian Probabilities in Perception: A Critical Analysis
with comments by Frank Tong (Vanderbilt)
Jake Beck (York) and Sam Clarke (University of Pennsylvania): Perceiving Numbers
with comments by Stella Lourenco (Emory)
Also on the program is Megan Peters (UC - Riverside)\, who will serve as chair. \;The event will conclude with an open-ended discussion for all participants\, about the themes of each talk and more generally about ways philosophy and \;vision \;science can most productively interact. Finally\, there will be a wine reception following the event\, transitioning into the start of VSS&rsquo\;s &ldquo\;Demo Night&rdquo\;.
