York CVR Vision Science Summer School


The Centre for Vision Research (CVR) at York University offers a one-week, all expenses-paid undergraduate summer school on vision science.  This year's program will be held June 3-7, 2013.

The program includes talks by CVR faculty members on current research topics in vision science, as well as hands-on demonstrations in CVR laboratories.  The curriculum reflects the wide range of research areas at CVR, which includes basic research on vision in humans and animals, covering both neuroscience and behaviour, as well as applied topics such as computer vision, virtual reality, visual perception in low-gravity environments, and vision in clinical populations.  For an idea of the topics to be covered, see last year's schedule at www.yorku.ca/cvrss/schedule2012.pdf.

The program will accept 24 undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing a career in scientific research.  It is intended mainly for students who are planning to apply to graduate school in the fall of 2013 for admission in 2014, and who are interested in investigating vision science as a possible area of research.  Both Canadian and international students are encouraged to apply.

The program provides on-campus accommodations, breakfast and lunch each day, a closing banquet, and reimbursement for transportation costs.

Application instructions are available on the summer school website, www.yorku.ca/cvrss.  The application deadline is February 1, 2013, and applicants will be notified of decisions by March 1, 2013.

For further information, see the summer school website, www.yorku.ca/cvrss, or write to Dr. Richard Murray (rfm@yorku.ca) or Dr. Jennifer Steeves (steeves@yorku.ca).

GSA SPARK 2020

  GSA SPARK Join us in the fight against SPARK!   In GSA Capital’s boardroom sits SPARK — a decades-old blade server, entombed forever in acrylic to be displayed as a proud reminder of GSA’s journey.   SPARK was an invaluable step toward the sophisticated algorithms in use today, but was retired from active trading and destined never to be booted up again.    But last night, through a series of unfortunate errors, the server was reconnected to GSA’s internal network. In the decades spent sitting on the boardroom shelf its algorithms have warped beyond recognition. SPARK now has a conscience of its own...   Compete to win prizes! Compete with other students in a race to shut SPARK down before it finds a way to dominate every electronic trading market in the world.   For 21 days a range of exciting daily prizes will be on offer to those brave enough to take on SPARK in a series of fiendishly difficult challenges. The contestant deemed to have been most i...
