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

该奖项将支持为期两天的对象感知，注意力和记忆（OPAM）研讨会的组织11月8日至9日，2017年将展示视觉认知的研究生和博士后研究。OPAM研讨会将促进早期职业科学家的接触和联网。OPAM是免费和可访问的，由研究生和博士后研究人员进行讲座和海报展示，是专业发展的重要场所。目前视觉认知的研究涵盖了广泛的研究主题（例如，物体、面部和场景识别;视觉注意力;视觉记忆;眼动控制和主动视觉），并使用各种各样的研究工具。该奖项允许OPAM研讨会扩大到两天，以便有更多的机会进行演示，并介绍了旨在扩大学员获得指导，网络和研究想法的新方案。组织者特别注意让妇女和代表性不足的群体成员担任发言人、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.
