Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Current promising developments in artificial intelligence, advanced imaging modalities, and high-performance computing are opening new frontiers in the early diagnosis, monitoring and understanding of brain disorders. Efficient computational acceleration techniques can enable real-time response and fast learning cycles; combined with hyperspectral imaging (HSI) and advanced ML/DL algorithms, they are driving the shift toward non-invasive, accurate, and scalable neurodiagnostic tools.
This Special Issue, “Next-Generation Neurodiagnostics: Deep Learning, Hyperspectral Imaging, and Computing Acceleration in Brain Condition Detection”, aims to garner original research and comprehensive reviews that focus on novel methodological advances and translational applications in this evolving field. We welcome both specific and interdisciplinary contributions that utilize machine learning, spectral data analysis, and neuroimaging technologies to enhance our ability to diagnose and characterize neurological conditions at multiple spatial, temporal, and spectral scales.
Topics of interest for this Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Hyperspectral imaging for brain tissue analysis and disease detection;
- Deep learning methods for spectral and multimodal neuroimaging data;
- Multimodal data fusion combining HSI, MRI, fMRI or PET;
- Microscopy imaging;
- Real-time brain imaging through computing acceleration (e.g., GPUs, FPGA, edge computing);
- Spectral analysis and biomarkers for neurological conditions diagnosis;
- Image segmentation, classification, and anomaly detection in neural datasets.

Manuscript Submission Information
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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Bioengineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
