About this Research Topic
This Research Topic, Methods and Applications in Cognitive Neuroscience, is part of a Series hosted in the Neuroscience portfolio at Frontiers. Please submit your article to the Research Topic that best suits the focus of your research.
Introduction and general guidelines for the Methods and Applications Series:
This Series highlights the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate the fundamental questions in neuroscience research, from molecular to organs to integrative functions in living organisms. Review articles and Opinion pieces on methodologies or applications, including the advantages and limitations of both, are welcomed. This Series includes technologies and up-to-date methods that help advance science.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of Neuroscience. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective fields.
The Neuroscience portfolio at Frontiers supports the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Wilkinson et al., Sci. Data 3:160018, 2016).
Methods and Applications in Cognitive Neuroscience aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions into the mental processes involved in cognition:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data. Method can include various modalities, such as Behavioural data, Eye tracking, Electroencephalography, Magnetoencephalography, Functional MRI, Functional PET, Diffusion MRI, NIRS, ECoG, pupilometry. In the analysis methods can include connectivity measures, AI in Neuroscience, methods to combine multimodal data, new protocols to access various cognitive processes and including all age range starting from infants to adults and the elderly.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for physiology research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.

Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
