*** Special Optical Society of America *** Sat, Sun Mon Oct 13,14,15, 2001 Vision Science Meeting, at the University of California Irvine, Student Center The UCI meeting deals exclusively with VISION SCIENCE and has distinguished particpants from around the world. The meeting is composed of two overlapping parts: Papers in visual psychophysics, visual information processing, and attention, (Sat & Sun) PLUS a Color Vision Workshop (Sun & Mon) Unlike most OSA meetings, this one is FREE. A complete schedule is appended below. Only the presenters of talks are listed below, coauthors are listed in the abstracts: see the OSA journal Optics Express at http://www.opticsexpress.org/ *** SPECIAL NOTICE *** because of the terroist threat, some speakers may have second thoughts about attending.
