Details

Vision is predictive, allowing us to react to changing situations in a timely manner. Catching a ball, locking gaze on a moving target, tracking a person’s intentions, all require understanding a trajectory of change and predicting the outcome. This theme is a focus of research in several fields and each session of this conference spans three of them: human vision, computer/computational vision, and visual neuroscience. This conference is held every two years and is now co-organized and supported by our CFREF-funded Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) program.

A one-day Phiosophy Workshop will immediately predece the Centre for Vision Research's International Conference on Predictive Vision at York University. Vision scientists who will be in town for the Conference are invited to come early for the Workshop. Philosophers who want to attend the Workshop are encouraged to stay for the Conference.

The Workshop is free, though registration is requested through the conference website: http://cvr.yorku.ca/conference2019. Questions should be directed to Dylan Ludwig: ([email protected]).
