DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Center for Perceptual Systems (CPS) is an interdisciplinary program at the University of Texas that provides a focal point for research and training in sensory systems. Recent growth in the Neurosciences at UT, as well as in CPS, particularly in the area of vision research, has lead to the development of a distinctive group in the Center that has a broad interdisciplinary research program in vision, representing psychophysical, neurophysiological, imaging, and computational approaches. In concert with our recent growth and increasing visibility, we have developed a new training program in vision science to take advantage of our growing strengths in the investigation of vision in natural environments, and in neural computation. Because of both our broad expertise and our special strengths in these areas we are well positioned to train new scientists who will be at the forefront of vision research in the future. There are three important components to our training focus. First, we take advantage of the highly interdisciplinary and collaborative structure of CPS to provide broad cross-disciplinary training, which we consider essential for students of vision and visual performance. Second, we believe that training in computational methods is an essential component of research in vision and we take advantage of our particular strengths in this area. Third, we take advantage of our strengths in the area of natural systems analysis to provide a unique training opportunity in an area that we see as becoming increasingly important for a broad understanding of vision. These components lie at the core of our program, which includes basic courses, specialized seminars, training in advanced methodologies, attendance at the CPS colloquium series and the CPS symposium on Natural Environments, Tasks, and Intelligence, ethics training, and the development of professional skills.

描述（由申请人提供）：感知系统中心（CPS）是德克萨斯大学的跨学科计划，为感觉系统研究和培训提供了焦点。 UT以及CP的神经科学的最新增长，特别是在视力研究领域，导致中心中一个独特的群体的发展，该群体具有广泛的视觉跨学科研究计划，代表了心理生理，神经生理学，成像，计算方法。与我们最近的增长和可见度相结合，我们制定了一项新的视觉科学培训计划，以利用我们在自然环境和神经计算中对视觉调查的不断增长的优势。由于我们在这些领域的广泛专业知识和我们的特殊优势，我们在未来将处于视觉研究的最前沿的新科学家方面处于良好状态。我们的培训重点有三个重要组成部分。首先，我们利用CP的高度跨学科和协作结构来提供广泛的跨学科培训，我们认为这对于视力和视觉表现的学生至关重要。其次，我们认为计算方法中的培训是视觉研究的重要组成部分，我们利用了该领域的特殊优势。第三，我们利用自然系统分析领域的优势，在我们认为对视力的广泛理解变得越来越重要的领域提供了独特的培训机会。这些组成部分是我们计划的核心，其中包括基本课程，专业研讨会，高级方法论培训，参加CPS座谈会系列以及关于自然环境，任务和智力，智力，伦理学培训的CPS座谈会和专业技能的发展。
