Program committee: Jennifer Steeves (chair, York); Miriam Spering (UBC), Craig Chapman (Alberta), Ashley Parr (Queen’s), Susanne Ferber (Toronto)

This one-day satellite symposium focuses on perception and sensorimotor processes underlying the control of vision and movement in healthy and clinical populations.
It is jointly organized by the Canadian Action and Perception Network (CAPnet), a neuroscience research consortium that focuses on sensation, perception, and movement control, and by the Canadian Physiological Society (CPS).
The satellite is open to everyone and will highlight presentations from neuroscientists across Canada in three talk sessions, a poster session, and a keynote lecture given by the recipient of the 2016 CPS Sarrazin Lectureship (open for nominations until January 31, 2016; for more information see http://www.cpsscp.ca/sarrazin-award-lectureship; the 2015 Sarrazin Award recipient was Dr. Kathleen Cullen, McGill).
