Neuroassessment and Neurorehabilitation in Neuropsychological and Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Application of Wearable Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

As technology continues to advance, wearables offer unprecedented opportunities for the continuous, real-time monitoring of neurocognitive, behavioral and social-affective impairments. From tracking physiological markers of neurological and psychopathological pictures to analyzing behavioral patterns connoting functional/dysfunctional life habits, wearable applications have outlined a constantly evolving landscape. While the potential of such applications for remote monitoring and management of chronic patients presenting non-communicable diseases is more established, theoretical foundations, methodological approaches and emerging trends shaping the integration of wearables in the comprehensive understanding and targeted management of neuropsychological and neuropsychiatric conditions still present open questions.

This Special Issue of Brain Sciences aims to provide an update on recent advances in the application of wearable technologies for complementing assessment, empowerment and rehabilitation of cognitive, affective and behavioral dysfunctions in neuropsychological or neuropsychiatric disorders. Moreover, it aims to constitute a collection of studies detailing the state of the art of R&D in such frontier territory, at the intersection of computer science, neuroengineering and neuroscience.

Authors are invited to submit cutting-edge perspective papers, research papers and reviews that address the above-noted topics.

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. 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.
