SCHOOL ON NEUROMATHEMATICS OF VISION

============================================
 
 The conference is devoted to afford and analyze contemporary problems of
visual perception with particular attention to development of theoretical
tools. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers from
vision cognitive neuroscience, neurophysiology, bioengineering and
mathematics, in order to favour the synergy between these disciplines. It
is motivated by the fact that recent important advances in
neurophysiology have been concerned with geometrical issues. These
discoveries call for new theoretical concepts and instruments, in
particular PDE's and geometric measure theory instruments in the setting
of fiber bundles and Lie groups.
