Non-invasive brain stimulation in research and therapy
Submission status
Closed
Submission deadline
Non-invasive brain stimulation techniques are of great interest to researchers as well as clinicians. Through modulating brain activity in a non-invasive way, they offer a promising tool to study neural mechanisms and cognitive processes in healthy individuals. Furthermore, non-invasive brain stimulation can be used in neuropsychological or psychiatric rehabilitation and treatment, for example, for neurodevelopmental disorders or following strokes. In research as well as practice, however, the most efficient way of applying non-invasive brain stimulation is still widely discussed, meaning the field is actively evolving.
This Collection welcomes work using non-invasive brain stimulation to study cognitive and neural functioning of the healthy brain, as well as the potential use of non-invasive brain stimulation in therapy and rehabilitation.
