Vision and Mind: A Symposium in honour of Horace Barlow

Description

You are invited to attend Vision and Mind: A Symposium in Honour of Horace Barlow, which will be held on Friday 16^th December 2022 in the Physiology Lecture theatre, Department Physiology, Development and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge.

This is a great opportunity to join a cutting-edge symposium of contemporary scholars in perception and neuroscience.  It will look at current developments stemming from the continuing influence and impact of Horace Barlow’s work. Barlow was one of the great figures of modern neuroscience, best known for his pathbreaking contributions to visual neurophysiology, psychophysics and brain theory.  More than any of his contemporaries, Barlow’s work has a continuing influence on modern neuroscience.

Please join us!

There will be talks from a great international roster of speakers, and discussions on perception, neurophysiology and theory.

We especially welcome registrations from Early Career Researchers for whom there is a reduced registration of £25. Information on the programme and how to register is below.

Registration will include lunch and refreshments during the conference, and an evening reception in the Zoology Museum. A dinner, with family and friends, will be held in Trinity College on Saturday 17 December (at additional cost) from 18:45-21:30.
