Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
More than 90 years have passed since Dr. Hans Berger reported the world’s first electrical activity of the human brain in 1929. In recent years, Dr. György Buzsáki has advocated such ideas as, “Without the rhythm of the brain, the mind is not born; the brain is a predictive device, and it is the rhythm of the brain that produces predictive ability.” Furthermore, Dr. Jakob Hohwy has stated that “the brain is a sophisticated hypothesis tester, supported by a predictive mechanism that constantly seeks to improve the prediction of sensory input, which consists of the brain updating its perception and selectively sampling sensory input that conforms to its predictions.”
Recent advances in neuroimaging technology, including EEG, have made it possible to visualize various brain activities. In addition, research on neuromodulation, as an intervention for brain dynamics, the underlying neurophysiological basis of the brain, was rapidly accelerated by the development of TMS in 1985 by Dr. Anthony Barker. On the other hand, as a trend in the field of psychiatry in recent years, the concept of precision medicine has become important to elucidating mental disorders as well as to developing new therapeutic strategies. Research in these areas is progressing rapidly, and new knowledge is being accumulated every day. In addition, to implement precision medicine, it will be important to conduct not only sophisticated translational research but also large-scale clinical research using multimodal measurements, as well as the construction of a database that integrates these studies. Moreover, sophisticated analysis techniques based on data science will be increasingly required for the database.
This Special Issue, “Clinical Neurophysiology, Neuroimaging, and Neuromodulation of Neuropsychiatric Disorders Series II”, aims not only to introduce state-of-the-art research in clinical neurophysiology, neuroimaging and neuromodulation, but also to deal with the topics of database construction and neuroinfomatics in these fields. We welcome original research papers, methodology papers, and review papers describing the use of the latest brain science approaches in the above fields, especially those that incorporate the concept of precision medicine.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine 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 2600 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.
