The CVR summer school offers a unique opportunity for advanced undergraduate students to learn more about computational and biological vision. The curriculum of the week-long summer school reflects the wide range of research areas at CVR, which includes research on human visual perception, computer vision, machine learning, visual neuroscience, 3D film, immersive environments, and disorders of vision.
