Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Non-invasive brain stimulation, together with neuroimaging, has contributed to the recent developments in cognitive and clinical neuroscience.
Over the last decades, innovative non-invasive brain stimulation research approaches have been proposed to investigate the neuro-functional bases of motor, perceptual and cognitive functions, and deepen our understanding of how the brain responds to internal and external stimuli and guides behavior. A parallel line of research has explored the possibility of using the same techniques to non-invasively treat the brain and heal cognitive, perceptual and motor dysfunctions.
This Special Issue will deal with recent theoretical and methodological advances in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques also in combination with neuroimaging and/or neurophysiological measures to study the neuro-functional bases of perceptual, sensorimotor and cognitive functions in relation to relevant topics of psychology, cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology. Contributions on the use of non-invasive brain stimulation as a potential tool for the treatment of brain pathologies in neurological and/or psychiatric patients with sensorimotor, cognitive or mood disorders are also welcome.
We invite articles covering a range of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, including, but not limited to, TMS, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and other transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) techniques, as well as galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) and vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). We welcome submissions of original research articles, reviews (scoping, systematic, narrative), short communications, case reports, opinions and commentaries.

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.
