I-CAMP 2013 : Summer School on Liquid Crystals
Cambridge University
The I-CAMP'13 school took the form of a summit, bringing together prominent scientists as well as students and postdoctoral fellows. It provided education for young scientists working in the fields of liquid crystal materials science, optics, photonics, mathematics, biophysics, nanoscience, and related fields. The goal was to prepare the participants for research at the frontiers of science and technology by providing an interdisciplinary expert training not easily available within the traditional system of graduate education and postdoctoral apprenticeship. The meeting also explored current state and emerging new research frontiers. The focus was on recent advances at the interface between liquid crystal physics and optics that promise to open up conceptually novel directions of research. Participants working at the forefronts of materials science, nanoscience, and optics discussed the emerging uses of light for control and study of liquid crystal materials as well as the advances in
Virtual Reality in Vision Research - Audio
Immersive virtual reality is the research tool those of us who study human perception and action have been waiting for, because it enables us to perform rigorous experimental studies of natural behaviour. First off, it allows us to easily manipulate realistic visual environments while collecting continuous measures of ongoing behaviour. But its greater potential lies in the ability to test psychological theories by manipulating the world in impossible ways. I will describe several studies in which we break the laws of physics and optics to investigate some interesting visual-motor control problems:(a) How do baseball players catch a fly ball? (Manipulate gravity)(b) How do people guide locomotion? (Manipulate the optics)(c) What information is used for path integration? (Manipulate the visual-motor gain)(d) How can you tell if you're being stalked? And is a zig-zag path the best escape? (Manipulate the behavior of virtual agents)William Warren is Chancellor's Professor of Cogn
