Workshop on Natural Environments Tasks and Intelligence
|
| Perceptual and motor systems must reflect the natural tasks
the organism performs as well as the properties of the
natural environments in which the organism performs those
tasks. Thus, the aim of this workshop is to stimulate
research in "natural systems analysis," which consists of
several interrelated components: (i) measurement and
analysis of natural scene statistics, (ii) analysis of the
computational requirements of natural tasks, (iii) rigorous
experimental study of neural and behavioral performance in
natural tasks.
Dates: March 28-30, 2008.
Location: Sarah M. and Charles E. Seay Building, 108 East Dean Keeton, University of Texas at Austin
Organizers: Bill Geisler, Mary Hayhoe, and Dana Ballard Recent News There will be a special issue in the journal Visual Neuroscience devoted to the central theme of the workshop (deadline June 30, 2008). All relevant submissions are welcome, independent of participation in the workshop. |
