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).

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
