Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Entropy is a nonlinear measure employed to quantify the dynamical properties of biomedical signals. Various methods based on Shannon entropy have been applied to estimate the complexity or irregularity of multivariate signals over multiple scales; these have also been utilized in the analysis of cardiac and respiratory time series to examine the features of bidirectional cardiorespiratory interactions. In the last few decades, in addition to the neural control of the heart rhythm, many basic and clinical studies have revealed the properties of the neural control of breathing. However, we remain unable to recognize the whole spectrum of the variability in cardiorespiratory coupling during wakefulness, sleep, exercise or changes in the cardiovascular and respiratory system induced by pathological conditions. This Special Issue aims to disseminate the results obtained via the development of novel entropy metrics and/or the implementation of standard entropy measures under the different physiological and pathological conditions applicable in the examination of cardiorespiratory interactions.

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. Entropy 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 2600 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.
