AVA Annual Meeting 2007, FRIDAY 20TH APRIL 2007

ACTIVE & PASSIVE VISION

ABSTRACT DEADLINE: MARCH 2nd

The AVA Annual Meeting 2007 and AGM will be held in the new Norcroft
Conference Centre on the University of Bradford Campus on Friday 20th
April 2007.

The G J Burton Memorial lecture will be given by

Dr. Iain Gilchrist (University of Bristol):

Active Vision: asking the right questions about human vision


SUBMISSIONS:

Abstracts (max length: 250 words) should be submitted by e-mail to Alexa
Ruppertsberg ([log in to unmask]) by March 2nd.

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed and should cover previously unreported
research on any aspect of vision.

Abstracts must state the title, authors and include addresses.

References should be given in the body of the abstract in full, but
without the title, e.g. (Rayner et al, 2001, Vis Res, 41, 943-954)

Accepted abstracts will be published in Perception (similar to
AVA-Christmas meeting).

Deadline for abstract submission: FRIDAY, 2nd March 2007


PLEASE NOTE:
1) Abstracts should be appended with a statement of preference for a
talk or a poster.
2) The e-mail accompanying the abstract should indicate which of the
authors will and will not be attending the meeting.
3) Unless otherwise stated, it will be assumed that the first author
will be the presenting author.

The organizers will try to accommodate preferences for a talk or poster;
however this may not always be possible.




REGISTRATION FEES

Registration fees *should* be paid in advance at the registration rates
shown below using PayPal on our website:
http://www.theava.net/meetings/ava2007.html
(If you have problems accessing the webpage, drop me an email)

If you do not have a PayPal account, then cheques (drawn on a UK Bank in
£ Sterling and made payable to ‘Applied Vision Association’) can be sent
to Alexa Ruppertsberg at the address below.

Cash or cheque payments will also be accepted on the door, but credit
card facilities will *not* be available. Please, make sure we know that
you are coming by dropping us an email, if you neither submit an
abstract nor pay in advance.

Member registration 				@ £25
Non-member registration 			@ £35
Membership & registration special offer		@ £45
Student member registration			@ £10
Student non-member registration			@ £20
Membership & student registration special offer @ £30
Optional registration payment for grant-holders @ £80
(includes membership, if not already a member)

As many of you will know, the AVA has moved to a policy of a one
payment, life membership fee (of 25.00 pounds sterling). One way in
which we hope to offset some of our meeting costs is by introducing the
'premium' category of registration fee. There is no obligation to pay
this fee, and we expect that most people will pay either the 'student'
or 'other' rates as appropriate. But, we do hope that grant holders
might consider paying the premium rate. In all cases, a receipt will be
provided on the day for the fee paid, but this will not indicate the
category.
