Registration without contribution
The symposium will include 2 key note speeches (30 minutes each) and invited and contributed speeches (15 minutes each). The topics of the presentations will be any topic of Systems Vision Science,
which combines computational, behavioral, and neuroscience methods to discover and investigate functions and algorithms for vision in various brain regions and their implementations in neural circuits.
