Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, cutting-edge applications of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) have been documented in fields such as hypnosis, sport, and learning. Indeed, while extensive literature has described applications of NIBS for mental and neurological disorders, there are fields for which effective NIBS interventions have only recently been described. Among these is the enhancement of hypnotic responsiveness and the improvement of reading performance in individuals with learning disorders.
This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to present a collection of studies illustrating the most recent advances in NIBS in original fields of cognitive science. Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge research and reviews that address a broad range of emerging topics in both clinical and health research, including NIBS and food, learning, hypnosis, sport, other than technological advancements (multifocal and high-definition approaches), experimental designs (online vs. offline stimulation, single vs. multiple sessions), and neurophysiological substrates of NIBS applications. Studies comparing NIBS and other interventions are also welcome.
