Brain Activity Exploration with Non-invasive Sensor Arrays

Dear Colleagues,

Brain activity exploration has been a part of the multinational research agenda for several decades. This has resulted in a significant amount of new knowledge, models, tools, and methods to investigate neural activity at various spatial and temporal resolution scales. Network models currently dominate and postulate the existence of dynamic functional connections between spatially distributed neuronal assemblies at a range of different scales, which manifests the need for hardware and software solutions capable of concurrently sensing the distributed neuronal populations and extracting regularities present in the measured data. 

Capitalizing on the recent explosive technological developments in material science, microfabrication, and big data analysis, it is now time for a new twist in the spiral of developing novel tools for sensing brain activity. Given the need to register the activity of neural networks whose nodes are spread across the brain volume, non-invasive whole-brain imaging approaches are of specific interest, and are capable of registering the activity of cortical and subcortical sources at various spatial and temporal resolution scales.

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. 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.
