Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, "Innovative Biomimetics: Integrating Machine Learning, Neuropsychology, and Cognitive Neuroscience in Applied Psychological Research", focuses on the intersection of biomimetics with such vital areas as machine learning, neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, cultural psychology, and clinical psychology. The aim of this proposal issue is to concentrate on new approaches using bio-inspired designs and computational models to enhance human cognition, behavior, and therapeutic interventions.
Such fundamental topics will include biomimetic applications in cognitive neuroscience to model brain functions and neuroprosthetics. At the same time, the integration with machine learning aims to improve neuropsychological diagnostics and therapy. Cultural influences in psychology will be highlighted to use biomimetic frameworks. This issue will focus on bio-inspired cognitive models, aiming at a better understanding of psychological phenomena, exploring biomimetic approaches for mental health assessment, and reviewing new therapies that imitate the process of natural healing.
Furthermore, the current Special Issue examines the integration of machine learning algorithms with biomimetic models in neuropsychological diagnostics, focusing on developing adaptive therapeutic interventions using artificial intelligence to predict cognitive decline and tailor such treatments. Such innovations are bound to fundamentally alter conventional diagnostic techniques and therapies.
Additionally, in cultural and clinical psychology domains, biomimetic approaches are proposed to deepen the understanding of cultural influences on cognitive and psychological processes, leading to the development of culturally sensitive therapeutic tools. Moreover, the potential of biomimetic designs for advancing psychological assessments and interventions is explored by developing bio-inspired cognitive models that address complex psychological phenomena such as emotion and memory.
Finally, this Special Issue provides a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration. Therefore, it encourages researchers to share their recent findings, discuss challenges, and present innovative solutions that link biological inspiration with psychological practice. One of the major goals of this Special Issue is to stimulate new directions in research that can further integrate biomimetics into psychology and neuroscience.

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. Biomimetics 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 2200 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.
