25th Annual Workshop on Object Perception, Attention, & Memory

该奖项将支持在2017年11月8日至9日举办为期两天的关于物体感知、注意和记忆(OPAM)的研讨会，展示视觉认知方面的研究生和博士后研究。OPAM讲习班将促进职业生涯早期科学家的接触和建立联系。OPAM是免费和可访问的，以研究生和博士后研究人员的演讲和海报演示为特色，是专业发展的重要场所。目前视觉认知的研究跨越了广泛的研究主题(例如，物体、人脸和场景识别；视觉注意；视觉记忆；眼动控制和主动视觉)，并使用了广泛的研究工具。该奖项允许将OPAM研讨会扩展到两天，以便有更多的演讲机会，并推出旨在扩大学员接触指导、网络和研究想法的新课程。组织者特别注意让妇女和任职人数不足的群体的成员担任发言者、小组成员和小组主持人。2017年的研讨会将在加拿大温哥华举行，这将增加早期职业科学家建立国际合作的机会。

This award will support the organization of a two-day workshop on Object Perception, Attention, and Memory (OPAM) on November 8-9, 2017 that will showcase graduate and postdoctoral research in visual cognition. The OPAM workshop will facilitate the exposure of, and networking among, early-career scientists. OPAM is free and accessible, features talks and poster presentations by graduate and postdoctoral researchers, and is a vital venue for professional development.Current research in visual cognition spans a broad range of research topics (e.g., object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention; visual memory; eye movement control and active vision) and uses a wide variety of research tools. The award allows the OPAM workshop to be expanded to two days in order to allow more opportunities for presentations and introduces new programming designed to expand trainee access to mentoring, networking, and research ideas. The organizers have paid particular attention to the inclusion of women and members of under-represented groups as speakers, panelists, and panel moderators. The 2017 workshop will take place in Vancouver, Canada, which increases the opportunity for early-career scientists to establish international collaborations.
