Rutgers Series on
Perceptual Science

This series on Perceptual Science features weekly talks by researchers spanning all aspects of perceptual science, with particular emphasis on topics that connect human perceptual science to computer modeling. It serves as a forum for presentation and discussion of timely issues in perceptual science, and as a vehicle for introducing graduate students to new research and theoretical developments in the field.

The series is open to all members of the Rutgers community. It is typically attended by faculty and students specializing in a range of disciplines including psychology, computer science, computer engineering and neuroscience. It features talks by faculty and students at Rutgers, as well as outside invited visitors, including prominent national and international scientists.

The talks are Mondays at 12:00 in the Psychology Building, Room 101 on Busch Campus.

Talks in this series are announced by email. If you would like to receive these announcements, please send email to suecos@ruccs.rutgers.edu

For additional information regarding this talk series, please contact (talks at ruccs.rutgers.edu).

The Rutgers Series on Perceptual Science is sponsored by:

IGERT: Interdisciplinary Training in Perceptual Science

The Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science

IGERT: Interdisciplinary Training in Perceptual Science is a NSF funded program offering graduate fellowships for the study of interdisciplinary perceptual science that integrates perceptual science in human and computers. The IGERT Perceptual Science program also administers an interdisciplinary Core Curriculum in Perceptual Science open to all qualified graduate students.

For further information about the IGERT fellowships, core curriculum and other IGERT activities, see http://perceptualscience.rutgers.edu, or email perceptualscience@rutgers.edu
