I-Perception
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Understanding of Perceptual Processes
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Visual Perception:
The journal emphasizes research on visual perception, including studies on illusions, depth perception, and the interaction between visual stimuli and cognitive processes. - Crossmodal Perception:
A significant area of focus is the interaction between different sensory modalities, such as how visual cues influence auditory perception or vice versa, highlighting the integrative nature of perception. - Psychophysics:
I-Perception publishes studies that employ psychophysical methods to quantitatively assess perceptual thresholds and the relationship between stimuli and perception. - Developmental and Age-Related Perception:
The journal explores how perception changes across the lifespan, including developmental studies in children and age-related changes in sensory processing. - Neurophysiological Underpinnings of Perception:
Research investigating the neural mechanisms and brain processes involved in perception is a core area, encompassing studies using neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques. - Applied Perception:
The journal also addresses applied aspects of perception, such as the implications of perceptual research in fields like design, marketing, and technology.
Trending and Emerging
- Virtual and Augmented Reality:
There is a growing interest in how virtual and augmented reality environments affect perception, particularly in studies examining embodiment, presence, and the effects of immersive technologies. - Multisensory Integration:
Research focusing on multisensory integration has gained traction, investigating how different sensory modalities work together to shape our perceptual experiences in complex environments. - Cognitive and Emotional Influences on Perception:
Emerging studies are increasingly examining how cognitive factors, such as attention and emotion, influence perceptual processes, highlighting the interplay between cognition and sensory experience. - Perception in Non-Traditional Contexts:
Investigations into perception in unique contexts, such as the effects of social distancing, face masks, and other pandemic-related factors, have become more prominent, reflecting current societal issues. - Technological Applications of Perception Research:
There is an uptick in research exploring the applications of perceptual science in technology, including the design of user interfaces, marketing strategies, and enhancing virtual experiences.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Art Perception:
Research focusing on classical art perception and the aesthetic evaluation of traditional artworks has decreased, possibly as the field shifts towards more contemporary and interdisciplinary approaches. - Static Visual Illusions:
Studies centered on static visual illusions have waned, indicating a potential move towards dynamic and more complex perceptual phenomena that better reflect real-world experiences. - Single-Sensory Studies:
There appears to be a decline in research focusing solely on single sensory modalities without considering crossmodal interactions, as the field increasingly recognizes the importance of integrative approaches. - Basic Visual Processing:
Investigations into basic visual processing mechanisms, such as simple shape and color perception, seem to be less frequent, possibly due to a growing interest in more complex and applied perceptual phenomena. - Historical Perspectives:
The publication of papers with a purely historical focus on perception theories has decreased, indicating a trend towards empirical and experimental research over theoretical or historical reviews.
