Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Electroencephalography (EEG) has long been a cornerstone method for exploring the temporal dynamics of brain activity, offering unique access to the neural substrates of cognition. Over recent decades, the integration of advanced analytic approaches—such as source localization, machine learning, and multimodal imaging—has transformed EEG into a powerful and versatile tool for investigating complex neurocognitive functions.
This Special Issue aims to showcase cutting-edge research employing EEG to elucidate the neural mechanisms underlying perception, attention, memory, language, decision-making, and related cognitive domains. We particularly encourage contributions that combine EEG with complementary neuroimaging or brain-stimulation techniques, or that introduce innovative computational, analytical, or theoretical frameworks.
We invite original empirical studies, methodological advancements, and comprehensive reviews that contribute to the theoretical understanding and translational applications of EEG in neurocognitive science, encompassing both healthy and clinical populations.

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. Brain Sciences 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.
