Trends in Hearing - Special Issue: The Application of Pupillometry in Hearing Science to assess Listening Effort Call for papers In recent years, research within the fields of Audiology and Psychology has been increasingly focusing on the quantification of the effort required during listening. The pupil dilation response has shown to be an informative
non-volitional indicator of cognitive processing during listening. Currently, pupillometry is applied in labs throughout the world to assess the influence of various relevant factors, such as hearing aid algorithms, CI rehabilitation, language competency,
and daily-life hearing disability, on listening effort. In September 2017, the section Ear & Hearing of the VU University medical center organized the
Second Workshop on The Application of Pupillometry in Hearing Science to assess Listening Effort. The workshop
was successful and will now be followed up by a special issue of Trends in Hearing focusing on the same topic. The special issue is open to submissions from any authors, regardless of attendance at the workshop. The aim of the special issue
is to review the state-of-the-art in research applying pupillometry. The special issue will encompass specific analysis techniques, parameters extracted from the pupil signal, interpretation of these parameters and linking of these parameters
to concepts described by relevant theoretical models. The ambition is that by bringing together a significant number of articles on closely related topics, including work by leading researchers in this field, the special issue will rapidly become a compact
and popular reference source of knowledge for those making new or further steps in this burgeoning research area. Some basic information about the special issue is outlined below:
-
The 2016 impact factor of Trends in Hearing is 3.05.
-
Guidelines for submission and instruction for the authors can be found
here.
-
There are no strict limits on the number of papers (full-length typically 10-20 pages)
-
All submissions will be peer reviewed. Therefore, acceptance of your paper is not guaranteed.
If you are interested in publishing in the special issue,
please send us an email describing the type of article you would like to submit,
and its topic. The board of Guest Editors will let you know if your paper fits the special issue. In that case, a discounted Article Processing Charge of 500 USD applies. The work should be submitted no later than 15 January 2018. Feel free to contact
us with any additional questions you might have. Prof. Sophia Kramer:
