Objects are important perceptual units in our subjective visual experience that play a critical role in guiding action and attention and understanding the meaning/semantics of scenes. A long-standing and important issue in visual cognition concerns how structured object representations are computed from incomplete and unsegmented visual input. In particular, debate has focused on to what extent object formation depends primarily on local features of the input (e.g., perceptual grouping, feature salience) or whether global and non-image conditions (e.g., selective attention, scene memory, predictions and the spatial and temporal contexts in which objects are embedded) also play substantial roles in object formation. Resolving this issue and others are important for building models of human object perception and informing fast-moving developments in human perception in demanding situations (e.g., medical image perception), computer vision, virtual/augmented reality, and other applied domains. To advance understanding of how objects are formed and their impact on perception and cognition, this special issue invites empirical work on object perception from across all levels of analysis (e.g., from sensory processing to semantics), theoretical frameworks, and experimental methods (e.g., behaviour, imaging, eye-tracking, brain stimulation, computational modelling). All submissions must make clear how the work addresses psychological (including neuroscientific) theories of object perception. We encourage submissions which include interdisciplinary collaborations between experimental psychology and other disciplines.

We strongly encourage open science practices including sharing of raw data, experimental materials, analysis scripts, and pre-registration. This special issue has made available an option for registered reports. Authors wishing to use the registered reports option are strongly encouraged to make early submissions to make the overall timeline feasible. Potential authors are welcome to contact the editorial team to discuss submissions in advance if there are any questions about eligibility.
