In recent years, sensor and information technologies have greatly boosted the wearable/portal/medical devices development. A large number of multimodal biomedical signals such as electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiography (ECG), electrooculogram (EOG), and electromyography (EMG), have been recorded for rehabilitation analysis, mental disorders evaluation, emotion recognition, cardiovascular disease diagnosis, etc. In these research fields, most researchers often use single-modal biomedical signals to build the corresponding analysis models. However, many clinical practice tasks, such as disease diagnosis, arrhythmias detection, and sleep condition monitoring, require multimodal biomedical signals together to make correct diagnoses, decisions, identifications, and predictions. It is noted that learning from multimodal biomedical signals can offer the possibility of capturing corresponded information and gaining an in-depth understanding of the relationship among different modalities. In this research topic, the collection of articles is intended to cover recent original research works to advance the fundamental theory and technologies in biomedical signal processing methods, multimodal fusion algorithms, and biomedical signal-based clinical applications. This Research Topic welcomes submissions of the following topics:
1. Biomedical processing methodology
2. Machine learning/deep learning based multimodal fusion algorithms
3. Self- and semi-supervised multimodal fusion algorithms
4. Biomedical signal based clinical applications
5. Fusion performance evaluation
6. Fusion of multimode signals for human-machine interface
7. Applications of multimodal fusion in biomedical signals
