About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topic "Methods and Applications in Perception Science". Please see the first volume here.
There is no single discipline, methodology, or instrument that can answer all of our questions about the nature of perception under investigation now and in the future. Within the broad umbrella of Perception Science, our choice of methods ultimately constrains exactly what questions we can ask. As current methods evolve and new methodologies emerge, we are able to expand and refine these investigations. This series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in Perception Science. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science also in other areas of perception science.
It is the goal of the Research Topic to collect a series of approaches that may become available across research areas in perception science. Specific themes include description of stimuli with a discussion of their applicability in perception research (ideally to be applied in several research areas); analysis methods; The physiology of senses and sensory systems; correlating and connecting physiology with perception. Ultimately, researchers should be able to learn from methods and approaches used in other research areas so that they can apply them in their own fields of interest.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of Perception Science.
This Research Topic welcomes:
● Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
● Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
● Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for psychology research.
● Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future
