Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The scope of auditory- and music-based neuroscience research for brain rehabilitation has evolved rapidly in the past 15–20 years, leading to intervention systems with high impact and accessibility. For a long time, the auditory system was under-researched as a critical sensory system in neurorehabilitation. Breakthrough findings, especially in applications to motor therapies, dramatically changed the research and clinical picture. Medical recognition is growing and expectations of increased basic and clinical research in tandem with widespread dissemination into global brain initiatives are driving the field forward. Therefore, this Special Issue is an extremely relevant undertaking and will serve as a productive platform to motivate new and innovative research in applied auditory neurosciences for global brain health.

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.
