About VSS
The Vision Sciences Society is a nonprofit membership organization of scientists who are interested in the functional aspects of vision. VSS was founded in 2001 with the main purpose of holding an annual meeting that brings together scientists from across the globe, working in a broad range of disciplines that contribute to vision science, including visual psychophysics, neuroscience, computational vision and cognitive psychology. The scientific content of the meetings reflects the breadth of topics in modern vision science, from visual coding to perception, recognition to the visual control of action, as well as the recent development of new methodologies in cognitive psychology, computer vision, computational modeling, neurophysiology and neuroimaging. We also believe that the practice and progress of science are best accomplished when people with different viewpoints and backgrounds all contribute. In this manner, we recognize the value of our professional society in creating community and professional identity in ways that go beyond what can be achieved in our home institutions.
Mission
The Vision Sciences Society is committed to progress in understanding vision, and its relation to cognition, action and the brain. We promote progress in the field by encouraging and facilitating the exchange of knowledge among vision scientists. We work toward this goal by hosting a yearly meeting, where both new and established investigators from a broad range of disciplines and scientific perspectives can present and discuss their work in a relaxed, informal setting. Although VSS has grown to encompass a large, international community, we realize that barriers to participation still exist, and that they are not always recognized by those who do not experience them directly. To the best of our ability, we endeavor to break down any such barriers to entry into, and participation within the vision science community.
Scope
The Annual Meeting of the Vision Sciences Society has a broad scope within the field of vision science, drawing on disciplines that include – among others – visual psychophysics, physiology, neuroscience, computational modeling, theory and cognition. Our central goal is to understand how vision works and is used. The meeting showcases presentations that advance this goal, but also welcomes presentations that report on vision-relevant topics in allied fields.
