ANNOUNCEMENT

Dear reader,

Part I of the

Special Issue of *Spatial Vision*
"Use of Computers and Cathode-Ray-Tube Displays
in Visual Psychophysics"
Guest Editor: Hans Strasburger

is now available. Its 212 pages present a comprehensive set of
original articles by distinguished authors on the methods of
computer-based experimentation in studying visual perception.
Nine full papers provide in-depth treatments of techniques for
stimulus presentation and other issues, focussing on the CRT as
today's ubiquitous visual display. Fourteen short notes
describe specific software and hardware systems that readers
will find useful for planning or improving experimentation in
visual perception.

Attached below is the table of contents. Further information is
available on the web:
