Indian Vision Science Symposium
Powered By Zeiss
Indian Vision Science Symposium, hosted by India Vision Institute and powered by Zeiss, 24 & 25 July 2021, will bring together leading researchers in developing cutting-edge innovations in vision science.
Over two days, through talks and discussions by experts, the symposium will showcase the interdisciplinary nature of vision science with other disciplines, including cognitive science, neuroscience, psychology, computer science, engineering, etc.
The symposium will be streamed on Zoom, with seven sessions for discussion - Optics of the eye, Visual processing in the retina, Early visual pathways in the brain, Sensory processing of visual information, Higher level vision - Attention and Cognition, Oculomotor behavior, Applied vision science.
