Visual cognition special issue: visual search and selective attention

Funding

The papers are based on the fourth “Visual Search and Selective Attention” symposium (VSSA4) held at Holzhausen/Ammersee, near Munich, Germany, 13–16 July 2018. The symposium was attended by leading experts on the above issues, from a variety of disciplines, including experimental and neuropsychology, electro- and neurophysiology, functional imaging, and computational modelling. The aim was to bring together such a diverse group and approaches in order to take stock and to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, to identify important shared questions in the study of visual search and selective attention and discuss ways of how these can be resolved using both existing and new methodologies. The meeting was supported by the German Research Foundation (“Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft – DFG”) as part of the DFG research group “FOR 2293” (University of Munich, Germany; coordinator: H. J. Müller) and the Munich Center for Neurosciences – Brain & Mind (MCN). We thank all the contributors for an exciting collection of research papers. LMU
