Insect Vision: Cells, Computation, and Behavior
Topics for this next conference included (but were not limited to) computational mechanisms, color vision, development, motion vision, navigation, and attention, predominantly in insects. Within each topic, talks investigated the function of the insect visual system at a computational, neural and behavioral level, with a focus on the relationship between structure and function. We also brought in a number of talks providing historical and comparative perspectives. The meeting brought together leading scientists working in these areas to provide an open forum for vigorous discussion of novel approaches and recent results, providing insights into visual system function.
