Submission of contributions
We invite you to submit poster contributions for presentation on topics of Systems Vision Science. This discipline combines computational, behavioral, and neuroscience methods to discover functions and algorithms for vision in various brain regions and their implementations in neural circuits. Presentation topics by the invited speakers will be
⇒ Topics in Systems Vision Science
⇒ The power of two: New perspectives on binocular vision
⇒ Central versus peripheral vision
Contributions in form of posters to any of these topics will be encouraged. To contribute, submit an abstract before Sunday, April 30, 2023. Information regarding acceptance is expected to be communicated by us by May 15, 2023, latest.
In order to submit a contribution, please use this form and send it, saved as pdf and named “svs_symposium_Last Name_First Name”, to svs.summerschool@tue.mpg.de. You will get a confirmation e-mail after receipt of your submission – if you don’t get a message of receipt within a day, please contact us.
Submissions will be considered on the basis of their fit with the symposium program and topics.
Presentation guidelines
All posters should be presented on one page and in “portrait” orientation. To maximize exchanges during the symposium, the posters will be displayed throughout the symposium, which includes five poster sessions (two daytime sessions and three evening sessions), in a venue next to the lecture hall and coffee breaks to give enough time for discussions, networking and knowledge exchange.
Anyone who submits an abstract agrees to have the presentation in-person in Tuebingen, Germany.
Participation in the symposium with or without contribution
Non-presenters are also invited to register and enjoy all benefits of the symposium until venue capacity of 100 people (including invited speakers and summer school participants) is reached. Priority will be given to people submitting a contribution.
Submitting a contribution will no longer be possible after April 30, 2023, but registration without contribution is open until capacity or deadline for organization is reached.
