Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neural engineering combines neuroscience and biomedical engineering, aiming to understand, interface with and engineer the nervous system. Neuroergonomics, on the other hand, is the study of the human brain in everyday life in domains such as aviation, workplaces, education and healthcare. Additionally, neurorobotics is an interdisciplinary field combining neuroscience, artificial intelligence and robotics, aiming to develop robots that can better interact with and understand the human nervous system. Overall, neural engineering is a rapidly advancing field that leverages engineering principles to understand, interact with and restore the function of the nervous system. The applications span neuroscience research, clinical diagnostics and therapeutic devices.
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into neural engineering has led to significant advancements in several key areas:
- Enhancing diagnostic performance by processing complex medical data and identifying subtle patterns;
- Recommending personalized treatment strategies for better outcomes by patient data analysis;
- Predictive healthcare with continuous monitoring for early disease identification;
- Advanced neural interfacing and brain–computer interfaces for better sensing, modulation and control of the nervous system;
- Modeling neural networks to bridge the gap between neural activity and neural computation, to understand brain functionality with simulations;
- Evaluating the mental workload by identifying patterns in brain signals and distinguishing emotional states in real time;
- Simulating robots and run embodied experiments in virtual environments;
- Improving robot control and decision-making.

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. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
