Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Health systems and their applications utilizing human physiological signals have a significant scope of application. Physiological signals are utilized to enhance the performance of health monitoring and diagnosis systems by integrating complex health data, such as electromyogram, electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, and pulse. In addition, methods for processing multiple physiological signals are evolving into various complex and intelligent methods, such as deep learning and machine learning methods, which enable a smart health management system based on AI.

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. Applied Sciences 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 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

This study examined temporal scalp electroencephalography (EEG) absolute power and brief self-reported psychological state measures before and after participation in a Life Story Program (LSP) in older adults. Five older women participated in the study. For each participant, pre- and post-assessments were scheduled at approximately the same time of day and included a brief four-item questionnaire and biosignal acquisition in a controlled seated environment. EEG was recorded at 500 Hz from T5 and T6 during an eyes-closed resting condition. For EEG analysis, only non-speaking segments were used; the initial 3–5 min stabilization period was excluded, and the subsequent 10 min of data were analyzed. One participant was excluded after outlier screening, resulting in a final EEG sample of four participants. EEG preprocessing included linear detrending, 60 Hz notch filtering, 0.5–50 Hz band-pass filtering, artifact rejection, and Welch-based estimation of absolute power in the delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma bands. Given the small sample size, all analyses were treated as exploratory. Questionnaire responses remained generally stable across assessments. No statistically significant pre–post differences were observed after false discovery rate correction, although small reductions, particularly in the gamma band, were observed. These findings should be interpreted as preliminary observations requiring confirmation in larger controlled studies with broader multichannel EEG coverage and more robust recording configurations.
