Their 1992 Contingent Involuntary Orienting Hypothesis and subsequent joint works have impacted thousands of research studies and inform most theories of attention today. Both Chip and Roger have contributed consequential independent work beyond their collaboration as well. Join us for special colloquia from the honored guests and a series of research talks from invited speakers from across North America and beyond. The conference will discuss the latest work in the field, and reflect on the scientific impact of Chip and Roger, and it will take some time to share personal stories from friends and colleagues as well. This event features an opening talk from Chip Folk and Roger Remington on Friday, Oct 18 and the main colloquia on Oct 19. If you're interested in attending the talk on Friday evening (7 pm), please indicate so at registration. Space is limited for the Oct 18 talk so CCBS will confirm your attendance. Registration is uncapped for the main event on Oct 19.
