Aims & Scope:
The perception and recognition of three-dimensional (3D) object shape is a fundamental function of the human vision system that underpins much of our ability to understand and interact with the environment. It is achieved for the most part within a few hundred milliseconds of stimulus onset, and to a high level of accuracy, despite variation in sensory input caused by changes in factors such as object viewpoint, occlusion, image size, spatial location, colour, texture, shadow, and illumination. The remarkable ease and robustness of 3D object processing belies the complexity of the perceptual and neurobiological mechanisms that make it possible.
In recent years, considerable research effort has focussed on the perceptual processing of specific categories of visual stimuli such as faces.  In contrast, in fields such as computer vision and robotics, the development of efficient adaptive 3D object processing and image classification systems remains at the forefront of activity.
The aim of this Special Issue is to encourage a renewed vigour to research on 3D object perception and recognition in biological vision. We invite novel research contributions that address any aspect concerning the perceptual and neurobiological processes that support 3D object processing (including, for example, the perception of object shape features, texture, colour and other related object attributes, image segmentation, feature binding and 3D object recognition). We particularly encourage papers that employ multi-methods approaches which could include psychophysics, computational modelling, eye tracking, functional brain imaging, electrophysiology, brain stimulation and studies of brain-damaged patients with development or acquired disorders of 3D object perception and recognition. Papers that solely investigate the processing of other stimulus categories (e.g., faces) must show how they clearly advance theoretical models of 3D object processing and recognition.
Submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the relevant field(s). As standard, contributions will be subject to i-Perception's usual open-access publication charges,<https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/i-perception/journal202441#APC> but financial assistance is available for authors of quality submissions with limited funding - please contact the editors outlining your circumstances if this applies. For further details concerning guidelines for authors see our submission guidelines here<https://uk.sagepub.com/en-gb/eur/i-perception/journal202441#submission-guidelines>. Individual papers in the Special Collection will be published as soon as they are accepted and ready for publication.
