10th August - 15th August 2025
Pembroke College, Oxford
Deadline extended to 10th April
We invite applications for the ICVS Summer School 2025 at Pembroke College, Oxford, UK, 10th August - 15th August 2025. The school will accept selected students and young researchers with basic knowledge of colour vision. It will focus on colour vision and its applications. The school will include lectures, discussion, and hands-on workshops, providing opportunities for formal and informal interaction with leading colour vision researchers.
A SPLASH OF COLOUR
1. Seeing neurons in the living human eye
Using techniques borrowed from astronomy, vision scientists can take high-resolution images of the retina, the fine layer of cells in the back of your eye.
With Hannah Smithson and Laura Young

2. Neurons code the colours we see
All activity in your brain – including those which mediates your perception of colour – is based on electrical messages between neurons. Vision scientists can measure these signals at the eye, and at the back of the brain.

3. More than meets the eye: hyperspectral imaging
How many colours we see is limited by our eye, which contains only three types of colour sensors. Using advanced techniques, vision scientists can take images of this “invisible” information and make it visible.

4. Panel discussion: #TheDress – What do we know?
In early 2015, an image of a dress polarised the internet: Some people saw it as black-blue, and some as white-gold. Three years on, we revisit the dress and discuss how vision science can explain this phenomenon.
With Manuel Spitschan, Anya Hurlbert, Karl Gegenfurtner and David Brainard.
