VSS Satellite | Philosophy of Vision Science Workshop

The past decade has seen a resurgence of interest in the intersection between vision science and the philosophy of perception. But opportunities for conversation between vision scientists and philosophers are still hard to come by. The phiVis workshop is a forum for promoting and expanding this interdisciplinary dialogue. Philosophers of perception can capitalize on the experimental knowledge of working vision scientists, while vision scientists can take advantage of the opportunity to connect their research to long-standing philosophical questions. Short talks by philosophers of perception that engage with the latest research in vision science will be followed by discussion with a slate of vision scientists, on topics such as probabilistic representation in perception, perceptual constancy, amodal completion, multisensory perception, visual adaptation, and much else. 

This event is supported by York University’s Vision: Science to Applications (VISTA) program and Centre for Vision Research, along with the Johns Hopkins University Vision Sciences Group. For questions, contact us at philosophyofvision@gmail.com.
