Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electronics has become a ubiquitous technology, with new functionalities emerging in all aspects of human life. Apart from smaller integration scales, dense packing, and wider operating characteristics, current electronic technologies allow for developing smarter, more precise, and more reliable systems that provide highly precise diagnostics, personalized therapies, or innovative rehabilitation systems that help toward a better individual health status and improve people’s lives.

This Special Issue aims to bring together a collection of both original research and review papers in the growing field of novel and innovative biomedical electronics and wearable systems, which show how biosciences and engineering are being used to improve biomedical research and technologies that will have an impact on future disease management. The topics to be addressed include, but are not limited to, non-invasive diagnostics, smart prosthetics and patient-specific devices connected to the neuromuscular system, bio-inspired algorithms and on-chip processing for smart portable/implantable sensors, wearables for the acquisition of high-resolution biometric data (biological and physiologic signals, etc.), analog and mixed neuromorphic VLSI, active VLSI implants, neural prostheses, nanomaterials, and tissue–electronic interfaces in implantable systems.

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. 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.

Trigeminal somatosensory-evoked potentials (TSEPs) provide valuable insight into neural responses to oral stimuli. This study investigates TSEP recording methods and their impact on interpreting results in clinical settings to improve the development process of neurostimulation-based therapies. The experiments and results presented here aim at identifying appropriate stimulation characteristics to design an active dental prosthesis capable of contributing to restoring the lost neurosensitive connection between the teeth and the brain. Two methods of TSEP acquisition, traditional and occluded, were used, each conducted by a different volunteer. Traditional TSEP acquisition involves stimulation at different sites with varying parameters to achieve a control base. In contrast, occluded TSEPs examine responses acquired under low- and high-force bite conditions to assess the influence of periodontal mechanoreceptors and muscle activation on measurements. Traditional TSEPs demonstrated methodological feasibility with satisfactory results despite a limited subject pool. However, occluded TSEPs presented challenges in interpreting results, with responses deviating from expected norms, particularly under high force conditions, due to the simultaneous occurrence of stimulation and dental occlusion. While traditional TSEPs highlight methodological feasibility, the occluded approach highlights complexities in outcome interpretation and urges caution in clinical application. Previously unreported results were achieved, which underscores the importance of conducting further research with larger sample sizes and refined protocols in order to strengthen the reliability and validity of TSEP assessments.
