Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the years, cognitive and neuropsychological assessments have been continuously developed and improved. Recently, such developments have significantly increased, with the support of technical innovation. A major drive in these changes has been the COVID-19 pandemic, which has boosted attention towards tele-neuropsychology and alternative solutions relative to traditional in-person assessments. In addition, the ‘replication crisis’ has crucially increased the need for appropriate and robust statistical inference. However, there are still many open issues that are debated—some old, some new: is remote assessment valid? Should we develop more ecological tests for neuropsychological assessment? Can new analytical methods (e.g., machine learning) contribute to developing clinical assessment?
This Special Issue collects contributions on aspects that address innovation in current cognitive and neuropsychological assessment and reviews on existing standards focusing on new directions, tools, or tests for assessment, as well as experimental studies that show how innovative approaches may uncover new perspectives.

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 2000 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.
