Neuroimaging in Vision Science

The past decade has seen rapid growth in the use of imaging techniques to study the human brain. In the case of vision research, the firm foundation provided by several decades of detailed psychophysics and neurophysiology has permitted rapid progress in defining the various visual areas of the human brain, establishing the nature of the visual information processing that occurs within them and examining non-retinal influences such as attention, mental imagery and input from the other sense systems.

The Journal of Vision plans a special issue on imaging the human visual system and invites the submission of original research articles describing work using brain imaging techniques to advance our understanding of any aspect of human visual processing. Imaging is defined broadly, to include all the following methodologies:

    * Magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI, DTI)
    * Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
    * Electroencephalography (EEG)
    * Optical imaging of visual cortex
