Vision Research

Aims & Scope

Vision Research is a journal devoted to the functional aspects of human, vertebrate and invertebrate vision and publishes experimental and observational studies, reviews, and theoretical and computational analyses.

Vision Research also publishes clinical studies relevant to normal visual function and basic research relevant to visual dysfunction or its clinical investigation.

Functional aspects of vision is interpreted broadly, ranging from molecular and cellular function to perception and behavior.

Detailed descriptions are encouraged but enough introductory background should be included for non-specialists.

Theoretical and computational papers should give a sense of order to the facts or point to new verifiable observations.

Papers dealing with questions in the history of vision science should stress the development of ideas in the field.
