Thursday 7th & Friday 8th October 2021, 1pm-5pm, Online via Zoom

Registration is now closed, but you can still look at our , and we are in the process of getting consent to post the recordings.

How is what we see affected by what we know, or think we know?  To what extent do our conscious perceptual experiences track sensory data?  The conference will bring together researchers investigating the perception and conciousness from different approaches, namely biological (day one) and computational (day two). The conference also brings together and researchers exploring the relationship between sensing, perception and awareness more generally.
