SUMMARY:2018 UK JSPS Symposium - SHITSUKAN approach to digital colour sen
 sing: human colour vision for material quality

DESCRIPTION:SHITSUKAN is a Japanese word for human sensing of material qu
 ality\, for example\, gloss or wetness of surfaces\, translucence of ski
 n. Recognition of SHITSUKAN is an ability of the human brain to estimate
  the nature of objects and plays essential rules in value?based behaviou
 r selection and body motor control in our everyday life. Sensing of SHIT
 SUKAN is obtained through multiple modalities such as vision and touch. 
 Thus\, SHITSUKAN is based on a complex highdimensional neural representa
 tion formed by an integration of sensory signals. Understanding SHITSUKA
 N will unmask critical scientific questions about human sensory mechanis
 ms\, and its computational modelling will contribute to the development 
 of the future information?processing technologies.\n\nJapan’s MEXT (Mini
 stry of Education\, Culture\, Sports\, Science and Technology) SHITSUKAN
  project\, led by Dr Shin'ya Nishida (NTT Communication Science Laborato
 ries)\, is an ambitious and innovative multidisciplinary research consor
 tium. We are delighted to invite leading SHITSUKAN scientists from Japan
 \, who will present insights into their individual research. You will ha
 ve a chance to learn the JSPS activities and their funding opportunities
  (inc. joint schemes with the UKRI and the Royal Society) for your resea
 rch.\n\nPresenters\n? Shin'ya Nishida : NTT Communication Science Labora
