Development and Validation of Innovative Low Cost Brain-Computer-Interfaces

Dear Colleagues,

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) allow direct communication between the brain and an external device. They have already found many applications, for example in neuro-rehabilitation, the restoration of capabilities lost by the user (e.g., motion or communication), gaming and entertainment. This Special Issue is interested in hardware and processing solutions, supporting the development of low-cost systems.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to:

• The development of new prototypes and/or paradigms for interfacing to the user’s brain.
• Development of stable sensors for long-term applications.
• Innovative algorithms for the processing of EEG in BCI applications (artifact removal, identification of cortical responses, etc.).
• Real-time processing and simple user interface for effective interaction.
• Advanced applications for healthy subjects in challenging situations (augmented control of devices, monitoring while driving a car, etc.).
• Applications in patients (home automation, restoration of motion or communication, etc.).
• Development of hybrid BCI systems that use multimodal inputs to improve their performances (EEG-EMG, EEG-pupil size, etc.).

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
