The FASEB meeting on Retinal Neurobiology & Visual Processing will be held in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, USA from July 29 – August 4, 2012.
The focus of the meeting is on visual processing in the vertebrate retina, including anatomical, physiological and modeling approaches. In addition, this year we will also discuss the processing of the visual signal after it leaves the retina. The goal of the meeting is to bring together visual and retinal processing experts from all over the world to facilitate a wide exchange of ideas and concepts and to evoke stimulating discussions about the complex mechanisms that underlie visual processing.
Please note that the number of participants is limited to 200. Early registration is recommended.
Abstract submission is open till June 1, 2012.
For more information please visit this FASEB page.
Or contact the organizer by email: mo.mccall@louisville.edu
Looking forward to seeing you in Steamboat Springs! Steamboat Chamber of Commerce website is here.
Note: The FASEB Summer Research Conferences are one of my favorite scientific meetings. The last FASEB meeting I went to was organized by Maureen McCall in Saxtons River, Vermont. It was an *excellent* meeting. I wish I could make this meeting as well, but schedules are just too tight this year.

The pupil is the aperture through which light passes into the eye and is created by the circular ring of thin muscles known as the iris. These images are from a pupilloplasty made with a 10.0 proline suture. Pupilloplasties are designed to reconstruct the shape of the pupil, typically after traumatic damage or other surgical procedures that alter the pupils shape. A damaged or non-functional pupil due to trauma can result in substantial visual glare and inability to properly adjust the amount of light entering the patients eye, so surgical repair is of substantial benefit.

Retinas are complex systems and engineered rescues of vision loss through bionic means have to date been inelegant solutions. Retinal bionic implants have historically not been successes due to some glaring problems including how to power them and how to get the appropriate current close enough to the cells to induce a response. However, researchers at Stanford University and University of California, Santa Cruz have now developed a photovoltaic retinal prosthesis that is wirelessly powered which eliminates one of the biggest hurdles on the viability of bionic Continued…
