About this Research Topic
As advancements in neuroscience continue to unravel the intricacies of the human brain, our understanding of how it adapts and changes in response to learning experiences is expanding. This research topic aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to delve into the cutting-edge developments in this field.
We invite contributions from scholars engaged in neuroimaging studies that shed light on the brain mechanisms underlying professional education and training. By utilizing state-of-the-art imaging techniques, we seek to unravel the neural processes that contribute to skill acquisition, knowledge retention, and expertise development in various professional domains.
In addition to neuroimaging studies, we are particularly interested in papers discussing brain stimulation methods in the context of professional education. As technology continues to evolve, so do the opportunities for leveraging brain stimulation to enhance learning outcomes. Whether through non-invasive techniques such as neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) or transcranial direct/alternative current stimulation (tD/ACS), transcranial photobiomodulation, (tPBM), etc. or more invasive approaches, we encourage researchers to share their findings and insights on the efficacy and ethical considerations of these methods.
Furthermore, the research topic will explore the emerging field of closed-loop brain modulation and stimulation. Understanding how real-time feedback and adaptive interventions can optimize learning experiences is crucial for shaping the future of professional education. We welcome submissions that delve into the design and implementation of closed-loop systems, their impact on cognitive performance, and the potential they hold for personalized and adaptive learning environments.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Neural correlates of skill acquisition in professional training
- Application of neuroimaging techniques in educational neuroscience
- Efficacy and ethical considerations of brain stimulation in professional training
- Closed-loop modulation for adaptive learning and training
- Cognitive enhancement through brain modulation techniques
- Novel or portable neuromodulation device and system
- Animal studies that provide a deeper understanding of underlying circuits/cellular mechanisms of skill learning
- Developmental studies or studies comparing brain plasticity across distinct stages of life
We encourage researchers, educators, and professionals from diverse disciplines to contribute to this interdisciplinary dialogue. Submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and accepted papers will be featured in a special issue of Frontiers in Neuroscience.
