MINNESOTA CONFERENCE ON VISION FOR REACH AND GRASP

This conference will bring together scientists in vision and
motor control with behavioral, computational and physiological
interests. We will address questions at the interface between
vision and action, with a focus on vision for reach and grasp
movements. There will be talks by invited speakers (listed
