Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Transcranial stimulation encompasses non-invasive neuromodulation techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), high-definition tDCS (HD-tDCS), random noise stimulation (tRNS), and related methods. These approaches modulate neural activity and have become integral to both bioengineering research and clinical practice.
This Special Issue will demonstrate recent developments and practical applications of transcranial stimulation in clinical and non-clinical settings. Submissions may explore therapeutic interventions for neurological and psychiatric disorders, neurorehabilitation after injury or stroke, and cognitive or motor performance enhancement in healthy individuals. Research on wearable and portable neuromodulation systems, closed-loop EEG-feedback protocols, integration with virtual or augmented reality platforms, and computational modeling of stimulation protocols is also invited.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Clinical and experimental applications of TMS, tDCS, tACS, HD-tDCS, and tRNS;
- EEG-based feedback and closed-loop stimulation systems;
- Neurorehabilitation and recovery of motor or cognitive function;
- Wearable and portable neuromodulation technologies;
- Integration of stimulation with virtual or augmented reality;
- Neural plasticity mechanisms and individualized stimulation strategies;
- Multimodal approaches combining stimulation with other interventions;
- Computational modeling and simulation of transcranial stimulation.
Original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and methodological papers are welcome.

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 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
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.
