modern society. A major goal of vision research is to understand the
visual processing required to read.</p><p class="">
Most people rarely think about the complexity of the reading process.
We know that our visual system quickly decodes black marks on a page
into meaningful words. But how?</p><p class="">
The past thirty years have seen a growth of research on the role of
vision in reading, including effects of type design, typography, and
writing system. These studies address both sensory mechanisms and brain
pathways involved in reading, and the impact of visual disorders. At the
same time, methods have improved for measuring reading performance and
enhancing reading.</p><p class="">
The goal of this special issue is to attract papers in this
multidisciplinary area of reading, with an emphasis on the interplay
between reading and vision. Submissions could include new results from
original research, targeted reviews, and interesting viewpoints. The
special issue will have a broad scope encompassing experimental,
theoretical, computational, and clinical studies, as well as
methodological approaches.</p><p class="">
