York CVR-VISTA Vision Science Summer SchoolThe Centre for
Vision Research (CVR) at York University offers a one-week,
all-expenses-paid undergraduate summer school on vision science. This
year's program will be held June 5-9, 2017.
This year's summer
school will be substantially expanded, as part of the VISTA initiative
that will dramatically increase the number of faculty members and
students engaging in vision research at York University in the coming
years.
The program includes talks by CVR faculty members on
current research topics in vision science, as well as hands-on
experience in CVR laboratories. The curriculum reflects the wide range
of research areas at CVR, which includes research on human visual
perception, computer vision, machine learning, visual neuroscience, 3D
film, immersive environments, and visual disorders.
The program
accepts undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career
in scientific research. It is intended mainly for students who are
planning to apply to graduate school in the fall of 2017, and who are
interested in investigating vision science as a possible area of
research. Citizens of all countries are eligible.
The program covers all transportation costs, and provides on-campus accommodations and meals.
Application
instructions are available on the summer school website,
www.yorku.ca/cvrss. The revised application deadline is March 1, 2017,
and applicants will be notified of decisions by March 15, 2017.
