Imaging Neuroscience Special Issue on Optical & Acoustic Neuroimaging

The scope of the Special Issue on Optical & Acoustic Neuroimaging includes research that significantly contributes to the understanding of brain function, structure, and behavior through the application of optical and acoustic neuroimaging, as well as major advances in optical and acoustic brain imaging methods. The focus is on imaging of the brain and spinal cord in humans and other species and includes neurophysiological and neuromodulation methods.

For this special issue, we are especially interested in development and applications of technologies including functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS—including continuous wave, frequency domain, and time domain approaches), diffuse optical tomography (DOT), diffuse correlation spectroscopy, functional ultrasound, ultrasound localisation microscopy, optical intrinsic signals, photoacoustic tomography (PAT), and other related technologies. We welcome submissions that focus on the macro-level organization of the human brain as well as work using meso- and micro-scopic neuroimaging in all species, if it contributes to a systems-level understanding of the brain or probes biophysical properties and processes. The scope includes work that addresses these questions in clinical populations or animal models as well as work on hardware and analysis methods development. For all submissions, we strongly encourage open sharing of datasets and code.
