the Date: Fechner Day 2026 – Umeå, Sweden
October
20–22, 2026
We
are pleased to announce that the 42nd Annual Meeting of the International
Society for Psychophysics (Fechner Day 2026) will be held in Umeå, Sweden, from
October 20–22, 2026. (https://visitumea.se/en, https://www.umu.se/en/).
Fechner
Day has long been the central meeting place for researchers interested in
psychophysics, sensory and perceptual processes, and quantitative approaches to
understanding experience and behavior. The 2026 meeting will continue this
tradition, offering an engaging scientific program, stimulating discussions,
and opportunities to connect with colleagues from around the world.
We
warmly invite suggestions for meeting themes and contributions, including:
- Proposals for special sessions or
symposia
- Panel discussions or roundtables on
emerging topics
- Ideas for cross-disciplinary or applied
sessions
- Suggestions for keynote speakers or
innovative formats
Please
send your ideas or expressions of interest gregory.neely@xxxxxx as soon as possible as a formal call
for abstracts and detailed information on registration, travel, and
accommodation will follow early in 2026.
As
part of Fechner Day 2026, we are also planning a special historical display
celebrating the history of the International Society for Psychophysics. If you
have memorabilia, photographs, or other materials related to past meetings,
please consider contributing to this display. Digital copies or photographs of
items can also be sent in advance to help us build the collection.
Finally,
a friendly reminder that it’s not too late to pay your 2025 ISP membership dues
if you haven’t already done so. Membership fees go almost entirely toward
supporting graduate student travel to ISP meetings, helping to ensure that
psychophysics continues to thrive as an exciting and vital research field for
the next generation. Your support truly makes a difference.
We
look forward to welcoming you to Umeå for Fechner Day 2026 and feel free to
forward this information to colleagues and contacts who might be interested in
joining us!![]()
