Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The specific integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into neural rehabilitation and assistive technologies is actually revolutionizing the way we approach recovery and support for individuals with neurological impairments and disorders. AI-driven systems, such as brain–computer interfaces, neuroprosthetics, robotic exoskeletons, and adaptive learning algorithms, offer new opportunities for restoring motor functions, improving cognitive rehabilitation, and enhancing the quality of life for patients with neurodegenerative diseases, spinal cord injuries, or stroke.
This Special Issue aims to explore the most advancements, challenges, and future directions in AI-powered neural rehabilitation and assistive technologies. We welcome contributions focusing on the most frontier and cutting-edge scientific research in artificial intelligence applications, neuroengineering innovations, and human–machine interaction strategies specifically designed to enhance rehabilitation outcomes.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- AI-driven brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) for motor and cognitive rehabilitation;
- Machine learning algorithms for personalized neurorehabilitation;
- Robotics and exoskeletons for motor recovery and assistance;
- AI-enhanced neurofeedback systems for rehabilitation therapy;
- Neural signal processing and AI-based predictive modeling for recovery assessment;
- Adaptive assistive technologies for individuals with neurological disorders;
- AI and wearable devices for real-time monitoring of brain and motor functions;
- Ethical considerations and human-centered design in AI-assisted neurorehabilitation;
- The role of AI in speech and cognitive therapy for neurodegenerative conditions;
- Virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and AI in rehabilitation environments.
Submission Guidelines:
Researchers and practitioners in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, and related fields are invited to submit original research articles, reviews, and short communications. Submissions should align with the scope of Brain Sciences and adhere to the journal’s formatting and ethical guidelines.
We look forward to receiving innovative contributions that will shape the future of AI-assisted neural rehabilitation and assistive technologies.

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.
