The 3rd edition of our Systems Vision Science summer school and symposium is a great success. A virtual edition is planned for summer 2026, another onsite edition for summer 2027, see summerschool.lizhaoping.org for previous editions.

From Europe to Asia to the U.S.: Scientists of visual neuroscience came together at the Systems Vision Science Summer School & Symposium, hosted by Max Planck researcher Li Zhaoping. Looking forward to a virtual gathering in 2026, and an in-person event again in 2027!

top-down feedback along the ventral visual pathway is mainly directed to foveal representations, a prediction confirmed by Reversed Depth Illusion -- happy to share this paper shorturl.at/nPdgb after >10 years of exploring a new framework (see shorturl.at/EZlNV or shorturl.at/Uaww3) for vision

SVS 2025! speakers: Marco Bertamini, David Brainard, Peter Dayan, Andrea van Doorn, Roland Fleming, Pascal Fries, Wilson Geisler, Robbe Goris, Sheng He, Tadashi Isa, Tomas Knapen, Jan Koenderink, Keith May, Laurence Maloney, Marcello Rosa, Jonathan Victor , shorturl.at/FrovM please RT.

How to understand multisensory encoding (e.g., MST neurons tuned to visual-vestibular), or multimodality encoding (e.g., MT cells tuned to depth from disparity and motion parallax) through the efficient coding principle, see www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... comments welcome!

online vision courses, free, available at zhaoping.thinkific.com , including 5 sub-courses from "Introduction to vision" to computational vision topics. They have been used for my teaching, you may mix and match them for graduate courses or self study. Comments welcome
