About this Research Topic
The core purpose of this topic is to identify the neural correlates of AP, how these neural correlates are modulated by short/long-term NBS, and how these modulations contribute to the improvement of AP in either healthy or clinical patients. By addressing the aforementioned questions, our Research Topic may help to delineate the influences of NBS on AP, and may help to propose potentially empirical interventions for clinical AP disorders.
To achieve these goals, we encourage submissions that are broadly related to the following themes to expand current knowledge. We welcome original research papers as well as meta-analyses papers and review papers.
-- What are the neural correlates (spatial, temporal or frequency domains) of affective processing with and without NBS? What are the differences in neural correlates between different types of AP or its related disorders?
-- How does long/short-term NBS modulate the neural processing and behavioral outputs of AP? What are the differences between long-term and short-term NBS? Does some NBS method specifically influence subtypes of AP?
-- How does NBS contribute to the treatment of clinical patients with AP disorders? Do combined NBS and traditional interventions do better than individually applying NBS or traditional intervention?
-- The safety and ethic concerns of NBS in the studies of AP in both healthy subjects and clinical patients.
Keywords: affective processing, non-invasive brain stimulation
