Cue Integration and Depth Perception

Dear Colleagues,

How do we perceive depth in a rich, multisensory world? Depth perception relies on the integration of multiple sensory cues, including binocular disparity, motion parallax, perspective, shading, and texture. This process is a remarkable example of the brain’s ability to combine information from diverse sources to generate coherent spatial representations. Yet, many questions remain about how these cues are integrated, how their relative weights are influenced by context and experience, and how the interplay between cues can lead to perceptual errors or illusions.

This Special Issue aims to explore the mechanisms and principles underlying cue integration in depth perception. We invite contributions addressing theoretical, empirical, and computational perspectives, with topics including, but not limited to, the neural and cognitive processes involved in cue integration, developmental and individual differences in depth perception, the role of learning and adaptation, and the impact of degraded or conflicting cues. Submissions that examine how depth perception functions in naturalistic or virtual environments are particularly welcome. By gathering diverse perspectives, this Special Issue seeks to deepen our understanding of how the integration of sensory cues shapes our perception of the three-dimensional world.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Vision is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
