OPAM and Visual Cognition August 29, 2005Dear OPAM Community, 
We are pleased to announce the establishment of a formal association between OPAM and Visual Cognition. Both the workshop and journal began at the same time in the early 1990s with similar overarching goals of providing outlets for rapid sharing of experimental research and theoretical development in areas of scientific investigation that overlap greatly. Over the last dozen years, these entities have developed, expanding both in size and impact. Beginning with this year’s workshop, the two organizations will be teaming up to bring the cutting edge research in the area of object processing presented at OPAM to the wider research community studying visual cognition. The primary aspect of this relationship between OPAM and Visual Cognition is that the 1,000 word research summaries from the 15 talks presented at the workshop will be published in the journal. The summaries from this year’s workshop will appear in early 2006 and in future years in a fall issue coinciding with the workshop. In addition to publishing the talk summaries, Visual Cognition encourages all individuals presenting research at OPAM to consider the journal as an outlet for full length manuscripts of the presented research. OPAM has been rapidly growing in recent years, as can be seen in the record breaking number of submissions to OPAM this year. With this growth, OPAM has remained true to its mission of providing junior researchers with a venue for presenting high quality research. We believe that the association with Visual Cognition will further this important aim by allowing for the opportunity to share this work with the broader research community. We look forward to an excellent workshop in Toronto and hope to see you there. Sincerely, OPAM Organizers Kate Arrington Andy Leber Steve Mitroff Aude Oliva
