The theme of the workshop is the interaction between
experimentalists and modellers in the area of biological
vision. Participation is free, and all interested people are
wellcome.
The workshop is sponsored by the German Science Foundation
via the Graduiertenkolleg, by HFSPO and by the
FU and TU Berlin.
