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. Sensors 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 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.

Our work is positioned at the intersection of game data science, affective gaming, and the implementation of multimodal body sensors analysis. We propose an original method of evaluating the quality of a class of video games based on the emotional reactions of players. Game developers ask why some games are more profitable (MP games) than others (LP games). An intuitively convincing hypothesis is often put forward: MP games evoke more positive emotions and hence are sustainably engaging. Our main hypothesis is that test players who can clearly distinguish between MP game and LP game in relatively short test sessions are more reliable in scoring games and valuable to keep track of their emotions. From a random group of test players, we selected players with such abilities. We analyzed their affective spectra and obtained a fairly clear confirmation that the selected players showed more positive and less negative emotions in MP games than in LP ones. We can reasonably expect these players to be focused on playing in the test session, and their emotions may really indicate the strengths of MP games over LP games. We present the results of the experimental evaluation of our method conducted with with a leading game company in Poland. Full article

A brain tumor is the result of abnormal growth of cells in the central nervous system (CNS), widely considered as a complex and diverse clinical entity that is difficult to diagnose and cure. In this study, we focus on current advances in medical imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and how machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms might be combined with clinical assessments to improve brain tumor diagnosis. Due to its superior contrast resolution and safety compared to other imaging methods, MRI is highlighted as the preferred imaging modality for brain tumors. The challenges related to brain tumor analysis in different processes including detection, segmentation, classification, and survival prediction are addressed along with how ML/DL approaches significantly improve these steps. We systematically analyzed 107 studies (2018–2024) employing ML, DL, and hybrid models across publicly available datasets such as BraTS, TCIA, and Figshare. In the light of recent developments in brain tumor analysis, many algorithms have been proposed to accurately obtain ontological characteristics of tumors, enhancing diagnostic precision and personalized therapeutic strategies.
