Scottish Vision Group holds a 2-day (Fri afternoon – Sun lunchtime) conference that attracts vision scientists from Scotland, the UK, the continent and beyond. Our aim is to provide an intimate setting for a small group to share scientific ideas and results. The invited speaker for this year?s conference will be Dr Karl Gegenfurtner (Giessen University). Friday will be devoted to the invited talk, preceded by a round table discussion on this year?s theme: eye movements and perception. The following days will contain a series of talk sessions on various research topics in vision science. The abstracts from the meeting will be published in iPerception.

The cost of the conference will depend on whether you are staying in a single room or sharing. Based on bed, breakfast, lunch and dinner, for 2 days, we expect the cost to be around 200 pounds per person (single room) and 170 pounds per person (twin room).

This year?s meeting is kindly supported by SR Research.

If you would like to participate, please email your abstract to Dhanraj Vishwanath and Paul Hibbard, this year?s conference organizers, atSVGconference2013@gmail.com by 12.2.2013.

Those coming from overseas can fly to either Glasgow or Edinburgh airport. The drive to Glencoe (if you rent a car) ranges from 2.0?2.5 hrs through some very picturesque highland and loch-side scenery. This year we plan to have a rideshare signup so that out-of-Scotland attendees can drive to Glencoe with their Scottish colleagues from the main Airport locations. Additionally, the Caledonian overnight sleeper provides the option to travel directly from London Euston Station to Fort William.
