Philosophers, neurophysiologists, psychologists and researchers within the cognitive sciences are warmly invited to attend the conference and to submit posters.
The focus of this conference is “colour beyond the retina”, both the normal neurophysiology of human cortical colour mechanisms and a variety of cortical colour ‘anomalies’, in particular:
- Cerebral Achromatopsia
- Colour Synaesthesias
- Colour Blindsight
Early career researchers and graduate students are invited to apply for a two day intensive workshop held prior to the conference.
