Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Eye tracking is a non-invasive, inexpensive and effective means to understand brain function and cognition. Modern eye-tracking systems provide high temporal and spatial resolution of eye position signals, not only allowing the detection of small fixational eye movements such as microsaccades, but together with the advent of automated pupilometry these systems offer an ideal model to understand associations between brain mechanisms and behavior. Substantial knowledge of the neural circuit controlling eye movement and pupil behavior has been advanced over the past few decades. Our extensive knowledge of the eye movement system enables the design of specific eye-tracking experiments to target the brain regions or networks that are involved in certain cognitive functions or are significantly disrupted in some clinical populations, together leading to the extensive application of eye-tracking in the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and beyond. In parallel, neuroimaging methods such as EEG/ERPs, MEG, and fMRI have been used in conjunction with eye-tracking to uncover the mysteries of the healthy and diseased brain. This Special Issue is designed to present new knowledge and empirical evidence on the use of eye tracking as well as other behavioral and neuroimaging methods to understand cognition and brain functions in the normal or clinical population. Authors are invited to submit their new research papers, reviews, and case reports to this Special Issue.

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.
