Dear Colleagues,
We would like to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue of *Journal
of Vision*, on
Scene Perception from Central to Peripheral Vision
A key issue in real-world scene perception is the roles played by central
and peripheral vision. Central vision has the highest visual acuity and is
where we pay the most attention. Since central vision only extends to about
5 degrees radius, peripheral vision is the vast majority of our visual
field. Yet, the nature of peripheral vision is mysterious, in that our
common intuitions about it are often wrong.
Many key topics related to scene perception from central to peripheral
vision are outside of the topics traditionally studied under the heading of
"peripheral vision." These topics include the role of peripheral preview in
object recognition, the role of scene gist perception (based largely on
peripheral vision) on eye movement guidance, or the role of foveal load on
peripheral object or event perception. Furthermore, research and theories
on the roles of central and peripheral vision in ventral functions (e.g.,
object and scene recognition) have little interchange with research and
theories on the roles of central and peripheral vision in dorsal functions
(e.g., prehension, locomotion, navigation, and balance). Thus, there is a
need for a synthesis across these areas of research, which can be
facilitated by creating a special issue on this topic.
Subtopics will include:
- covert attention across the field of view in scenes (e.g., the
UFOV/FFOV/perceptual span)
- gaze guidance during fixations as a function of ecccentricity
- using gist to guide foveal scene information extraction
- gist extraction in peripheral vision
- object recognition and crowding in peripheral vision
- eccentricity biases in the coding of objects versus places in the brain
- the roles of central versus peripheral vision for dorsal functions
(prehension, locomotion, navigation, balance)
- consciousness in central versus peripheral vision
