Over the last decade, there have been growing interest and important developments in Cognitive Neuroscience research. These advances have been fostered by improvements in the research techniques that enable us to gather insights from different approaches, together with the need to better understand the field in order to achieve our mission to live healthy lives on a healthy planet.
Whilst the community can be proud of major advances, there is still a long way to go. In this Research Topic, we encourage researchers to summarize the state of the art and the main challenges the field of cognitive neuroscience research is facing. We also welcome contributions that look into the future and define the directions that the field will take in the coming years.
What have been the key discoveries so far? What are the most pressing matters that need to be addressed? Where is cognitive neuroscience research going to take us in the coming years? How multimodal data acquisition frameworks could foster cognitive neuroscience research? Could wearable technologies shed light on brain function in ecologically valid environments outside the lab settings? What we have learned from novel interventions aiming to boost human performance and increase productivity even in the mature human brain? Could we employ insights from cognitive neuroscience research in order to alleviate the burden of chronic or neurodegenerative diseases affecting senior citizens still at work?
What are the implications of allowing neuroscience in the lives of every-day citizens? How are these new devices and technologies embraced by different areas of daily lives, from highly specialized research-led medical interventions, to making shopping decisions?
This collection will serve as a basis to define the state of the art at the end of the second decade of the XXI century, and define the progress that needs to be made in the next decade. We encourage authors to contribute with review articles or perspectives. However, all article types are welcomed.
