Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurological diseases represent one of the main causes of disability. Functional impairments can lead to significant limitations in activity and participation. The goals of rehabilitation are focused around improving gait, hand function, and cognitive function. The effectiveness of rehabilitation depends on its intensity and systematicity, taking into account the disease, the patient’s personality, and environmental limitations.
The stimulation of plasticity mechanisms represents a basis for restoring and relearning lost functions. Modern technologies, robotics, and bioengineering provide many tools that can support the neurorehabilitation of people with dysfunctions caused by diseases of the nervous system.
Many research results indicate that intensive and repetitive rehabilitation is essential in facilitating the reacquisition or relearning of motor skills.
For this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit articles on rehabilitation methods, techniques, and programs involving robotics, virtual reality, and brain–computer interface-based methods. We invite you to present research results showcasing new technologies and concepts, as well as studies evaluating the effectiveness of new solutions.

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. 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.
