Rules for conference abstracts

  1. Set the title in bold. Use a capital letter for only the first word.
  2. List authors beneath the title (first name, middle initials (optional), second name).
  3. Follow the author list with the following placed within parentheses: Addresses of authors. If there are multiple addresses, use numbered superscripts to link to the authors. Follow addresses with a semicolon, the word ‘email’, a colon, and the email address of the first author.
  4. Abstract body. Maximum length: 250 words (including references).
  5. References must be included in the main body in the exact format shown. For author lists longer than two, use ‘et al’. Authors are discouraged from including more than two references. References should not be listed at the end of the abstract.
  6. Text should be fully justified throughout, and set in 12 point Arial font.

Grant reviewing and writing

The AVA Committee has published two documents which we believe will be helpful to the vision science community:

Bootstrap thresholds

Given a set of binomial responses at different stimulus levels, this program fits a psychometric function and derives a threshold and slope. It then estimates the standard deviation and confidence intervals of the threshold and slope by a bootstrap procedure. Another program compares thresholds and slopes from two sets of data and estimates confidence intervals to test the significance of their differences. For an introduction to the software, see Foster & Bischof (1997) Spat. Vis., 11, 135-139.

The programs are available in a variety of downloading formats here, and are also mirrored on the AVA anonymous ftp site at: ftp://ftp.psy.dmu.ac.uk/pub/ava/foster/.
