The workshop on the Neuroscience of Symmetry is a one-day meeting conceived as a round-table discussion, with national and international attendees. It is funded thanks to a Grant from the Experimental Psychology Society (EPS).

The event will start on the afternoon of Thursday 8th of June with the 3rd Visual Properties Driving Visual Preference workshop. Symmetry is a linking theme for both days.

In the last decade there has been substantial progress in understanding the neural basis of symmetry perception, although many questions still remain. This topic has been studied with behavioural techniques for over a century, and both psychologists and artists have wondered why symmetry is aesthetically appealing. This workshop brings together many of the leading scientists working on symmetry perception and neuroscience for a one-day workshop
