The MIT-BCS Vision Seminar Series is a forum for the dissemination and discussion of the most interesting research in visual sciences, being conducted within MIT and beyond. The series draws students and faculty members from diverse backgrounds including cognitive science, neuro-physiology and machine vision. Talks are held on Fridays, from noon to 1pm in room 46-3002. The series is sponsored in part by an NEI Training Grant.
