Special issue of Vision Research about the On-line Visual Control of Action
It is long known that on-going movements can be adjusted when necessary, but the full implications of continuous visual control for the relationship between visual processing and the control of action have only started to be explored. There have been many interesting developments in this field in recent years, and various ideas have emerged about how movements are controlled on-line. This topic is studied from various quite diverse angles in a wide range of communities and our impression is that it would be useful to combine some of these ideas in a special issue that examines as many different aspects of online control as possible. The idea is to obtain a combination of new theoretical and experimental work and reviews about this topic. We especially encourage work that has implications that go beyond the details of the particular paradigm, and reviews that either provide an authoritative overview of a single field, or combine results from different fields to deepen our understanding of the general principles involved. We welcome contributions related to any kind of action, from fixational eye movements to locomotion, and ranging from models and theories, via the analysis of human or non-human behaviour, to studies of the neuronal circuits underlying the on-line control of actions.
The deadline for submission of manuscripts is the 1st of February 2014. If you are interested in contributing a review article to this special issue, please get in touch with us first, to ensure that we do not get multiple reviews of precisely the same literature. Research articles can be submitted directly to Vision Research, selecting this special issue as the article type. If you have any questions feel free to contact us.
Of course all papers will undergo the normal review process.
