At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women from pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) research. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Although underrepresented, and sometimes unacknowledged, female researchers have been crucial to scientific advances. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Brain-Computer Interfaces section is proud to shed a light on great female researchers and provide them with a platform to showcase their work and role in open science. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr Caterina Cinel, Dr Camille Jeunet, Dr Zulay Lugo, Dr Floriana Pichiorri, Dr Angela Riccio and Dr. Selina C. Wriessnegger, highlights advances in the research that studies, develops and explores experimental setups and strategies for understanding augmenting, assisting and repairing the human neural systems through their interaction with electronic technologies.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as female and we encourage a prevalence of female representatives in the co-author list.
