Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modeling human senses goes beyond the classic five senses sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and includes others like balance, proprioception, and thermoception; even cognitive aspects like memory and emotion play a role in the experience of being conscious and alive. This call for papers aims to attract high-quality work devoted to the mathematical and computational modeling of natural and artificial human senses using the tools of algebra, probability, geometry, and numerical analysis, to mention but a few. We intend to relay the rise in machinery technology for monitoring our bodies (e.g., healthcare, security and vigilance, activity monitoring) and, through sensors, emulate and recreate our senses. This Special Issue provides a premier venue for people working on mathematical and computational modeling of any aspect related to understanding this research area at the forefront of artificial intelligence. Mathematics is an extraordinary discipline of the human mind, and abstracting the results of observation about natural and artificial sensor patterns is, without any doubt, a challenge and of great attraction to researchers. In this Special Issue, we invite front-line authors to submit original research on, not exclusively, the following potential topics:

  • Mathematics and perception;
  • Brain-inspired methods;
  • Mathematical modeling of spiking neural networks;
  • Probabilistic modeling of human senses;
  • Mathematics and neuroscience;
  • Mathematical and computational structure of human senses;
  • Mathematical and computational modeling of healthcare sensors.

All submitted papers should comply with the guidelines and standards of Computation. Submissions must be made electronically on the website before the deadline and follow the journal format. Submitted papers must describe previously unpublished and original research.

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. Computation 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
