DESCRIPTION:This week Kate Storrs will be leading the discussion of the fo
 llowing paper from Tim Behrens' lab reporting evidence for "grid cells" en
 coding visual stimulus spaces: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/352/6
 292/1464\n\nKate has written a commentary piece on it with Niko Kriegeskor
 te\, which you may find interesting but is not necessary reading for this 
 week's meeting:\nhttp://www.cell.com/neuron/pdf/S0896-6273(16)30707-3.pdf\
 n\nAbout the meeting:\nIn the interest of fostering communication\, collab
 oration and discussion between more members of the department we have deci
 ded to commence a Vision Journal Club (click here for our talks.cam page).
  The meeting is on Fridays and will begin promptly at 11.30am at the Nick 
 Macintosh room in the Psychology Department\, and run for an hour only. Th
 e idea of this weekly meeting is to provide an informal venue for vision-i
 nterested researchers to collectively mull over various vision-related art
 icles. Unlike other talks or colloquiums\, the idea of these meetings is n
 ot to passively sit in the audience and be informed about a topic of resea
 rch by an expert in the field\, but instead to have a collection of people
  who have all read the article get together and work through the article\,
  clarify important points and discuss the implications. While each meeting
  will have a host - someone to keep things (roughly) on track - the emphas
 is will be on group discussion of the paper. \n\nTo keep things informal a
 nd encourage as much interaction as possible we’ll actively discourage a
 ny kind of powerpoint or prepared presentation and instead hope to just wo
 rk off the paper in hand. The idea would be that – even if it’s an art
 icle you are having trouble with because you do not fully understand it 
 – anyone can propose a paper and host with minimal preparation effort ot
 her than reading the paper themselves.
