Vision Research
Special issue in Vision Research: Neurodiversity and visual function
This special Issue will address current research contributing to our knowledge and understanding of visual function in neurodiverse populations (such as autism spectrum condition, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), dyspraxia, developmental coordination disorder (DCD), dyslexia, dyscalculia or other developmental conditions). While there has been a large body of research investigating higher level features of visual function, including visual perception and attentional processes, this special issue will focus on the structural and functional differences affecting the lower levels of sensory and early visual processing from the retina to the primary and extrastriate visual cortices in neurodiverse individuals.
We welcome manuscripts providing insight into visual function associated with neurodiversity across a range of methodologies such aspsychophysics, eye tracking, pupil autonomic function, imaging of the eye/retina and brain, visual electrophysiology, qualitative assessments, and clinical visual assessment.
Contributions may consist of original papers, reviews or commentaries providing current insights into this topic area. We encourage contributions that highlight evidence of co-production with those with neurodiversity and open science practices.
