EEG Signal Processing for Sensing Technologies in Biomedical Engineering Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Research focused on brain electrical signals from the electroencephalogram (EEG) is gaining traction among biomedical, psychology, engineering, and computer science fields. EEG signals have great potential for use in biomedical applications for the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of conditions that can alter brain activity, such as mental fatigue. Among EEG signals’ applications is the monitoring of brain diseases, such as epilepsy, brain tumors, head and spinal injuries, and sleep disorders. Furthermore, controlling the environment with our mind has always been desirable; consequently, assistive technology applications using EEG signals such as brain–computer interfaces (BCI) as a platform for hands-free control have undergone substantial research. EEG measurement is reliable, relatively cheap, portable, and non-invasive, making it a key methodology for affordable and effective research, as well as a promising clinical and healthcare tool.

This Special Issue will contribute to the latest advancements pertaining to EEG signals for biomedical applications. We are inviting submissions of original research, as well as review articles and new development reports focused on the topic at hand, “Using EEG Signals for Biomedical Applications”.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) the following:

• Biomedical applications using EEG signals;
• Assistive technologies using EEG;
• Brain–computer interfaces;
• EEG signal processing;
• EEG for monitoring;
• EEG as a biomarker;
• The influence of conditions such as fatigue on brain activity;
• EEG and sleep.

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.
