About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to highlight the latest experimental brain imaging and stimulation techniques and methods used to investigate mechanisms of cognitive function and dysfunction.
Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications in brain imaging and stimulation, including the advantages and limitations of each in cognitive function research are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science. The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of cognitive functioning including, but not limiting to: attention, memory, speed of information processing, executive cognitive functions and more. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors.
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience supports the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Wilkinson et al., Sci. Data 3:160018, 2016).
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on brain imaging or stimulation methods and protocols relevant in cognitive function research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
For more information on the description and formats of the different article types please see ‘Article Types’ here.
