The Visual Properties Driving Visual Preference (VPDVP) is a yearly one-day meeting conceived as an informal round-table discussion, with national and international attendees. It started in 2015 and is organised by the Visual Perception Lab. The format is such that a group of experts present their work, and the number is restricted so that we can all sit around a long table with opportunity for discussion and interaction.
What are visual properties that drive visual preference? So far we have explored the following: Symmetry / Fractal Dimension / Natural statistics / Smooth curvature However, we are open to hear new ideas, including sceptical views about the possibility to isolate factors that determine preference. In addition to scientists we have had artists in attendance, and also collaborators from outside academia (Unilever R&D, FACT).
This year the VPDVP will segue into a workshop on the Neuroscience of Symmetry, funded by the Experimental Psychology Society (EPS). Symmetry is a linking theme for both days.
Both scientists and artists have wondered why symmetry is appealing and this topic has been studied empirically for over a century. In the last decade there has been substantial progress in understanding the neural basis of symmetry perception, although many questions still remain. The workshop brings together many of the leading scientists working on symmetry perception and neuroscience.
The workshop is free, but please register by e-mailing marcob@liverpool.ac.uk or mbrxgam4@liverpool.ac.uk
