CALL FOR PAPERS: SPECIAL ISSUE ON INATTENTIONAL BLINDNESS
The online journal PSYCHE is soliciting commentaries and articles for a
special issue dedicated to issues raised by Arien Mack and Irvin Rock
in their book "Inattentional Blindness". In addition original papers
that focus in general on the role of attention in human consciousness
will also be considered for publication. PSYCHE is interested in
submissions from researchers in any relevant field, including
philosophers, psychologists, and biologists.
Our goal is to explore the importance of the study of selective
attention to a deeper understanding of conscious perception.
Commentaries in this special issue are tentatively scheduled to be
published in January 2000 to be followed by a reply by Arien Mack. The
first chapter of the book is available on the PSYCHE website at:
http://psyche.cs.monash.edu.au/v5/psyche-5-03-mack.html
Submissions are due by October 1, 1999. Our expectation is that we will
allot two months for review of manuscripts and another two months for
revisions if they are requested. All submissions will undergo a
standard review process (i.e. double-blind peer-review). Submissions
should follow American Psychological Association Style and should be in
the order of 2000 to 4000 words long. Please check the "Notes for
Authors" section of the PSYCHE website for additional formatting
details. Longer papers will be considered. Articles that are accepted
will be published in two formats: a plain ASCII version will be emailed
directly to PSYCHE's 2500 subscribers, and an HTML version -- which can
contain graphics, links to raw data, or even movies -- made available
on the PSYCHE website.
We expect this to be an exciting forum that will include commentaries
from individuals in philosophy, psychology, and the biological
sciences. We hope that you will consider our invitation to participate.
If you are interested in submitting a paper, please contact us as soon
as possible.
best wishes,
Patrick Wilken
