Call for papers:
Special issue of 'Perception' on
CONTEXTUAL EFFECTS ON COLOR APPEARANCE
(Guest editors: Lothar Spillmann and Paola Bressan)
Manuscripts are solicited for a special issue of 'Perception' dedicated to
effects of context on the chromatic or achromatic color of surfaces. We are
seeking papers that report empirical or theoretical studies of how a change
in the spatial arrangement of parts of a scene can affect the color of a
target region. Examples of such effects include, but are not limited to,
neon color spreading, transparency, the Benary and White effects, induced
brightness in illusory figures, color contrast and assimilation. Although
the issue will focus on neon color spreading and related phenomena,
contributions may concern any of those situations in which physically
identical objects (or regions) acquire different appearances as a result of
the presence, or rearrangement, of other objects or figural elements within
the scene.
Manuscripts should be submitted, in quintuplicate, not later than May 31st,
1996.
