About this Research Topic
At present, less than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women from pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Although underrepresented, and often unacknowledged, female researchers have been crucial to scientific advances. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Brain Imaging and Stimulation section is proud to shed a light on great female researchers and provide them with a platform to showcase their work and role in open science. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Prof. Ruogu Fang and Prof. Wen Li, highlights advances in the application of neuroimaging techniques for the structural and functional study of the human nervous system, as well as works involving invasive and non-invasive stimulation techniques of the human nervous system.
Please note: to be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as female.
This Research Topic is part of the Women in Human Neuroscience series. Other titles in this series are:
• Women In Speech and Language
• Women in Motor Neuroscience: 2023
• Women In Brain-Computer Interfaces
Please submit your article to the Research Topic that best suits the focus of your research.
