Oxford Vision Group

The Oxford Vision Group (OxVis) brings together researchers in Oxford who are interested in vision, and provides a forum for the sharing of ideas, skills and approaches.

The scope of the group is wide, covering ocular and cortical components of vision and encompassing basic-science, clinical, computational and engineering approaches to human, animal and artificial vision. We draw on a range of academic disciplines including ophthalmology, physiology, neuroscience, psychology, zoology, computer science and engineering.

We propose 2-6pm, Friday 26 June to host a Catching up with OxVis meeting in the Life and Mind Building (see Next Meeting tab).

For enquiries, contact shiwen.li@psy.ox.ac.uk or hannah.smithson@psy.ox.ac.uk.
