Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background and history of this topic: In recent years, our understanding of the central nervous system has expanded significantly thanks to the use of electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These advancements have coincided with the development of more complex quantitative methods for analyzing MRI images and EEG signals. Additionally, researchers have created more sophisticated paradigms and designs to study emotional and cognitive functions.
Aim and scope of the Special Issue: The current Special Issue aims to gather significant advancements in EEG and fMRI applications, covering methods and theoretical aspects that help disentangle and explore brain activity.
Cutting-edge research: Specifically, submissions should focus on novel advancements in EEG and fMRI in terms of methods and paradigms.
What kind of papers we are soliciting: We strongly encourage the submission of EEG-, fMRI-, and multimodal-imaging-related studies. Meta-analyses and systematic reviews are also welcome.

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.
