About this Research Topic
We are living in a renaissance period for exploring how our brains give rise to individual behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. Yet, cutting-edge research in neuroscience often grapples with limitations imposed by traditional methodologies and compartmentalized perspectives. This is particularly the case when brain and behavior are viewed as isolated variables, reducing complex interactions to a series of univariate tests.
Our special collection sets the stage for a vibrant intellectual exchange aimed at transcending these boundaries. It gathers pioneering work focused on innovative methods for decoding the enigmatic relationship between neural processes and behavioral variations. Recognizing that human traits can spring from diverse neurological foundations—a phenomenon known as 'degeneracy'—we are particularly interested in research that aims to dissect this multifaceted coding.
Contributions to this collection will serve as lighthouses, guiding us past current limitations in both normative and pathological behavior research. We are open to a diverse range of article types, including but not limited to Original Research, Methodological Reviews, and Data Reports, in areas such as:
• Novel paradigms for investigating the neural underpinnings of behavior, with a focus on the role of degeneracy.
• Application of mixed models to forge concrete links between brain-based and behavioral metrics.
• Advanced techniques for modeling and integrating latent factors from neuroimaging and psychometric data.
• Strategies for optimizing cognitive tasks and research protocols, especially in the intersecting fields of neuroimaging and psychometrics.
• Holistic frameworks for mapping the spectrum of brain-behavior health and dysfunctionality.
We are confident that this collection will serve as a seminal reference for understanding the nuanced connections between brain and behavior. We eagerly await your groundbreaking contributions.
