Detailed Program InformationThe goal is to provide training in a number of dimensions in a relatively active way. The dimensions we want to explore are those that the stuendts may not visit through their regular academic work, but which could be equally important for their career. We have invited a number of distinguished guests from the Canadian science and innovation community to lead specific workshops. Please see the Program Schedule. You can download the collection of slides here.
The CVR at York University is an international leader in human and machine vision research. Uniting researchers from psychology, computer science & engineering, biology and kinesiology & health science, work at the centre is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative, rooted in a fundamental research program that merges techniques in human psychophysics, visual neuroscience and computational theory. Leading-edge facilities include a 3T fMRI scanner, a six-sided immersive virtual reality room, and a wide array of visuo-robotic platforms. For more information: cvr.yorku.ca.
