Introduction

After a five-year hiatus, the Asia Pacific Conference on Vision is returning!

The conference will be held from 10-12 July 2024 at Yale-NUS College, a part of the National University of Singapore. Its aim is to facilitate discussion on vision research in Asia and the Pacific, though participants from all over the world are welcome. Details and updates can be found at the conferece website at https://www.apcv2024.com/

The conference was first held in 2001, organized by the Vision Society of Japan and the Vision Research Group in Korea. Its founding purpose was to stimulate discussion and communication on an international scale, particularly for young researchers.

Scope

Vision research centers on sight, on how humans and others transform light into perception, thought, and action. By its nature, vision research is widely interdisciplinary, involving aspects of psychology, neuroscience, computer science, engineering, medicine, philosophy, and visual art.

We invite original works on all aspects of vision science research. Topics will include, but are not limited to:

• Visual psychophysics
• Visual neuroscience
• Visual cognition
• Computer vision
• Multisensory integration
• Decisions and action

 

Submissions

The program will consist of keynote lectures, symposia, talks, and posters. Abstracts for talks (12 minutes + 3 minutes for questions) or posters can be submitted at the following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apcv2024

The submission is simple, requiring only:

• Author details
• Abstract title
• Abstract text (up to 300 words)
• Keywords to help with program construction
• Your preference for giving a talk or presenting a poster

 

The city

Singapore is a vibrant city-state located just north of the equator at the tip of the Malay peninsula. The island is only 734 square kilometers, yet contains some five million people. Most Singaporeans are ethnically Chinese, Indian, and Malay, and these different backgrounds combine with global influences to produce a culture of diverse food, architecture, religion, art, and institutions. Many cultural elements reflect their origins, but they also have unique combinations and expressions in Singapore.

Despite being a bustling and effiicient metropolis, Singapore is also a "city in a garden". Tended greenery abounds, as do wilder areas in both the island's center and its coasts.

 

The venue

Yale-NUS College is a residential liberal arts college founded by the National University of Singapore and Yale University in 2011. Its beautiful facilities include a performance hall, lecture spaces, a black box theatre, a library, and a multipurpose hall--all built around a green space and pond. The conference will enjoy the use of these spaces, and it is also a convenient launching point for exploring other parts of Singapore.
