Dear Colleagues,

Alfred L. Yarbus was among the first to demonstrate that eye movements actively serve our perceptual and cognitive goals. This is a crucial recognition in today's research on active vision. Numerous studies have demonstrated that oculomotor control is tightly coupled to functions as fundamental as attention and memory. This tight relationship offers an intriguing perspective on trans-saccadic perceptual continuity, which we experience even though saccades cause rapid image shifts across the retina. In this Special Issue, we aim to publish combined approaches describing novel findings on how motor preparation shapes the visual system's priorities by enhancing visual performance, perceived stimulus intensity, and working memory at the targets of the prepared movement. The groups of articles should provide insights into how attentional processes enable the visual system to cope with the retinal consequences of the action. Articles exploring the interaction between the developing or degenerating motor and sensory/perceptual visual systems will also be considered.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Vision is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
