PERCEPTION
Scope & Guideline
Advancing Knowledge in Multidisciplinary Perception Studies
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Visual Perception and Illusions:
The journal regularly publishes studies on visual perception, including research on visual illusions, depth perception, and color perception, emphasizing how these phenomena affect our interpretation of visual stimuli. - Crossmodal Perception:
A significant area of focus is on crossmodal correspondences, exploring how different sensory modalities, such as sight, sound, and touch, interact and influence perception, providing insights into the integrative nature of sensory processing. - Cognitive and Developmental Factors:
Research on how cognitive processes and developmental factors influence perception is prevalent, including studies on age-related changes and individual differences that affect sensory experiences. - Psychophysical Methods:
The journal utilizes psychophysical methods to investigate perceptual thresholds and sensory discrimination, often employing innovative experimental designs to explore complex perceptual phenomena. - Applications of Perception Research:
Studies often explore practical applications of perception research in fields such as marketing, virtual reality, and design, analyzing how perceptual principles can enhance user experience and engagement.
Trending and Emerging
- Multisensory Integration:
There is an increasing focus on studies examining how multiple sensory modalities work together to create a cohesive perceptual experience, reflecting a broader interest in understanding the complexities of human perception. - Virtual and Augmented Reality Applications:
Research exploring the implications of virtual and augmented reality on perception has surged, indicating a growing interest in how these technologies can alter sensory experiences and perceptions of reality. - Individual Differences in Perception:
Emerging studies are increasingly highlighting individual differences in sensory perception, such as variations due to age, sex, or cognitive style, which are crucial for understanding personalized perceptual experiences. - Impact of Technology on Perception:
There is a notable trend towards investigating the effects of technology, including smartphones and social media, on perceptual processes and attention, reflecting contemporary societal changes. - Psychophysical Innovations:
Recent publications have introduced innovative psychophysical approaches, including Bayesian methods and continuous psychophysics, demonstrating a trend towards more sophisticated analytical techniques in perception research.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Visual Arts and Aesthetics:
Research centered on traditional visual arts and aesthetic evaluations seems to be declining, possibly due to a shift towards more empirical and experimental approaches in understanding perception. - Static Visual Stimuli:
There appears to be a waning interest in studies exclusively focusing on static visual stimuli, with more emphasis now placed on dynamic and interactive perceptual experiences. - Emotional and Social Perception:
While still relevant, the exploration of emotional and social perception, particularly in static contexts, has become less frequent, indicating a potential shift towards more nuanced interactions involving multiple sensory modalities.
