DESCRIPTION: In everyday experience, we effortlessly recognize faces, objects and scenes, yet the mechanisms underlying how we perceive the world remain elusive. Moreover, it is unclear how cognitive processes such as selective attention and memory interact with object recognition. The conference on Object Perception Attention and Memory (OPAM) is a one-day conference that showcases young investigators (i.e. undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral trainees) and their theoretical and empirical work on object processing in terms of attention, perception and memory. In addition, this conference highlights different methodological approaches to understand object processing including psychophysics, neuroimaging and neuropsychology. The goal of OPAM is three- fold: (1) to foster scientific research from junior investigators, (2) to facilitate interactions between junior and senior investigators, and (3) to provide a venue for a concentrated discussion on the role of attention and memory on object perception. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This conference will enhance our understanding of how attention and memory intersect with object and scene perception through fresh perspectives from junior investigators. The knowledge gained from discussions of basic research give rise to the development of clinical tools -- new ways to measure or diagnose deficits in object and scene perception. It also provides insight into therapies that might ameliorate perceptual, attention or memory deficits in special populations such as ADHD, autism, Williams Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome and dyslexia. 2

描述：在日常经验中，我们毫不费力地认识到面孔，物体和场景，但是我们如何看待世界仍然难以捉摸的机制。此外，尚不清楚如何认知过程（例如选择性注意和记忆与对象识别）相互作用。对象感知关注和记忆的会议（OPAM）是为期一天的会议，展示了年轻的研究人员（即本科，研究生和博士后学员）及其在关注，感知和记忆方面的理论和经验工作。此外，这次会议还强调了不同的方法论方法，以了解包括心理物理学，神经影像学和神经心理学在内的对象处理。 OPAM的目的是三倍：（1）培养初级研究人员的科学研究，（2）促进初级和高级研究人员之间的相互作用，（3）为关注和关注的作用的集中讨论提供了一个场所对象感知上的内存。 公共卫生相关性：这次会议将通过初级调查人员的新观点来增强我们对关注和记忆如何与对象和场景感知相交的理解。从基础研究的讨论中获得的知识导致了临床工具的发展 - 衡量或诊断对象和场景知觉缺陷的新方法。它还可以洞悉可能会在特殊人群（例如ADHD，自闭症，Williams综合征，脆弱的X综合征和阅读障碍）等特殊人群中改善感知，注意力或记忆缺陷的疗法。 2
