Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues，

Human abilities of attention and visual cognition are now of great interest to researchers in imaging and computer vision; the purpose of this issue is to present these human abilities in an accessible manner that speaks to those researchers and cognitive scientists in general, while providing a showcase for the brain. Ideal papers would provide big-picture insight into functional aspects of human attention and visual cognition. In addition, shorter papers that explore the interplay of high-level human and machine concepts are of interest. For examples and descriptions of wanted papers, please see the page for the first special issue (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jimaging/special_issues/human_vision_cognition).

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. Journal of Imaging is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 1800 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.

Investigating Eye Movements to Examine Attachment-Related Differences in Facial Emotion Perception and Face Memory

Individual differences in attachment orientations may influence how we process emotionally significant stimuli. As one of the most important sources of emotional information are facial expressions, we examined whether there is an association between adult attachment styles (i.e., scores on the ECR questionnaire, which measures the avoidance and anxiety dimensions of attachment), facial emotion perception and face memory in a neurotypical sample. Trait and state anxiety were also measured as covariates. Eye-tracking was used during the emotion decision task (happy vs. sad faces) and the subsequent facial recognition task; the length of fixations to different face regions was measured as the dependent variable. Linear mixed models suggested that differences during emotion perception may result from longer fixations in individuals with insecure (anxious or avoidant) attachment orientations. This effect was also influenced by individual state and trait anxiety measures. Eye movements during the recognition memory task, however, were not related to either of the attachment dimensions; only trait anxiety had a significant effect on the length of fixations in this condition. The results of our research may contribute to a more accurate understanding of facial emotion perception in the light of attachment styles, and their interaction with anxiety characteristics.

Arduino microcontrollers are used for a wide range of technological and biomedical applications, such as image classification, computer vision, brain–computer interaction and vision experiments. Here, we present a new cost-effective mini-device based on RGB LED flicker stimulation for the assessment of the chromatic temporal resolution of the visual function based on the concept of critical flicker fusion frequency (CFF). The assembly of the device and its testing in thirty young subjects demonstrate the steady white visual perception of a trichromatic flicker stimulus (mixture of red, green and blue stimuli) beyond the CFF. Macular function as measured by photo-stress recovery time (PRT) was found to be independent of the CFF measurements for red, green and blue lights. However, a statistical correlation was found between the contrast modulation for CFF for red and green stimuli and PRT. Finally, wavefront measurements demonstrate that high-order aberrations improve the temporal resolution of the visual function. Full article

In today’s fast paced, attention-demanding society, executive functions and attentional resources are often taxed. Individuals need ways to sustain and restore these resources. We first review the concepts of attention and restoration, as instantiated in Attention Restoration Theory (ART). ART emphasizes the role of nature in restoring attention. We then discuss the essentials of experiments on the causal influences of nature. Next, we expand the concept of ART to include modern, designed environments. We outline a wider perspective termed attentional ecology, in which attention behavior is viewed within a larger system involving the human and their interactions with environmental demands over time. When the ecology is optimal, mental functioning can be a positive “flow” that is productive, sustainable for the individual, and sometimes creative. Full article
