DESCRIPTION: In everyday experience, we effortlessly recognize faces, objects and scenes, yet the mechanisms underlying how we perceive the world remain elusive. Moreover, it is unclear how cognitive processes such as selective attention and memory interact with object recognition. The conference on Object Perception Attention and Memory (OPAM) is a one-day conference that showcases young investigators (i.e. undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral trainees) and their theoretical and empirical work on object processing in terms of attention, perception and memory. In addition, this conference highlights different methodological approaches to understand object processing including psychophysics, neuroimaging and neuropsychology. The goal of OPAM is three- fold: (1) to foster scientific research from junior investigators, (2) to facilitate interactions between junior and senior investigators, and (3) to provide a venue for a concentrated discussion on the role of attention and memory on object perception. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This conference will enhance our understanding of how attention and memory intersect with object and scene perception through fresh perspectives from junior investigators. The knowledge gained from discussions of basic research give rise to the development of clinical tools -- new ways to measure or diagnose deficits in object and scene perception. It also provides insight into therapies that might ameliorate perceptual, attention or memory deficits in special populations such as ADHD, autism, Williams Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome and dyslexia. 2

产品说明：在日常生活中，我们可以毫不费力地识别人脸、物体和场景，但我们感知世界的机制仍然难以捉摸。此外，目前还不清楚选择性注意和记忆等认知过程如何与物体识别相互作用。对象感知注意力和记忆会议（OPAM）是一个为期一天的会议，展示了年轻的研究人员（即本科生，研究生和博士后学员）以及他们在注意力，感知和记忆方面对对象处理的理论和实证工作。此外，本次会议强调了不同的方法来理解对象处理，包括心理物理学，神经成像和神经心理学。OPAM的目标有三个方面：（1）促进初级研究人员的科学研究，（2）促进初级和高级研究人员之间的互动，以及（3）提供一个集中讨论注意力和记忆对物体感知的作用的场所。 公共卫生关系：本次会议将通过初级研究人员的新视角，增强我们对注意力和记忆力如何与物体和场景感知相交的理解。从基础研究的讨论中获得的知识引起了临床工具的发展-测量或诊断物体和场景感知缺陷的新方法。它还提供了深入了解的疗法，可能改善知觉，注意力或记忆缺陷的特殊人群，如多动症，自闭症，威廉姆斯综合征，脆性X综合征和阅读障碍。2
