Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We live in the age of the audio boom. The frenetic activity of everyday life has led us to incorporate sound into our daily activities. This integration is possible because listening is less demanding than tasks involving the sense of sight. Consequently, we are immersed in a world where earphones are increasingly common to listen to all kinds of sound stimuli (podcasts, audiobooks, audio stories, sounds to meditate or sleep, etc.). It is worth asking how the brain processes sound, and determining the effects of this audio exposure. Despite being essential in our lives, sound processing has been dramatically forgotten in research, relegated by the prominence of image and sight. For this reason, audio processing can still be considered unknown. To alleviate this problem, in this Special Issue we seek submissions to answer this central question: how does the brain make sense of sound? We are inviting research papers about the topic from a broad viewpoint, including how the brain processes environmental sounds, music, different audio stimuli, or voices, to give a few examples. Moreover, the topic can be analyzed using all cognitive neuroscience methodologies and techniques.

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.
