Keynote Address is sponsored by Cambridge Research Systems. Young Investigator Award Dr. David Whitney Department of Psychology and Center for Mind & Brain, University of California, Davis Dr. David Whitney has been chosen as this year’s recipient of the VSS Young Investi- gator Award in recognition of the extraordinary breadth and quality of his research. Using behavioral and fMRI measures in human subjects, Dr. Whitney has made significant contributions to the study of motion perception, perceived object location, crowding and the visual control of hand movements. His research is representative of the diversity and creativity associated with the best work presented at VSS. The Young Investigator Award will be presented at the start of the Keynote Address on Saturday, May 10, 7:00 pm, in the Royal Palm Ballroom.

The fomat of the new abstract numbering is AB.CD where the digits before the period indicate WHEN the presentation is given, while the digits after the period indicate WHERE. (A is the day, B is the time period, C is the room and D is the presentation number) First Digit - Day (A) Second Digit - Time Period (B) Third Digit - Room (C) Fourth/Fifth Digits - Number (D) 1 Friday 1 Early AM talk session 1 Vista Ballroom 1, 2, 3...
