[ PHOTO: NOWCAMP'ers fuel up on day one ]University of Victoria is beautiful in the spring. Sunshine reflects off contemporary faculty buildings, and groups of bunnies mingle in the dew-soaked grass. There are lots, and lots of bunnies.
For those of you who aren't aware, NOWCAM stands for North West Cognition and Memory. The conference is designed to give undergraduate students the opportunity to present their research to peers in the form of posters or presentation.
Our group from the SFU Cognitive Science Lab consists of Calen Walshe, Mike Wood, Bill Chen, Jordan Barnes, Michael Fry, and myself. On the morning of day one we arise at a brain-tingling 7:30am among a sea of network cables, laptops, and last night's pizza boxes, and make our way to registration.
As students finish up munching on fresh muffins washed down with juice and coffee, the conference hall begins to fill up in anticipation of the opening welcome from Steve Lindsay followed by Dr James Tanaka introducing the first session on Perception.
