Abstract :
In 2006 I agreed to become the first Editor-in-Chief of this journal. One of my first tasks was to appoint an international editorial board whose interests covered the broad theme of cognitive vision, that is to say computational vision motivated by either neuroscience or psychology. In 2011, after 6 years devoted to the journal, I decided it was time to pass on the baton, and Majid Mirmehdi agreed to take over as Editor-in-Chief.
