Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a direct communication channel between the brain and external devices, the brain–machine interface (BMI) receives wide attention. With the development of techniques for brain signal acquisition and processing, the BMI is becoming cheaper and more commonly considered in various fields, ranging from assistive environments to medical treatment and military purposes.
Among various techniques contributing to BMI development, AI has huge potential to boost the performance of BMI applications. However, there are still plenty challenges in BMI applications leading to low reliability, low classification rates (or intention detection rates), and the inter-session and inter-subject varieties, which sometimes make the BMI performance differ from subject to subject. The literature shows that quite a few factors can negatively affect the performance of BMI applications, including hardware, software, algorithms, individual user characteristics, and so on. The human factors have a significant negative influence on the low intention detection rate, for instance, the concentration level, time-varying mental behavior, subject varieties, and so on.
This Special Issue focuses on Applications of Brain–Machine Interfaces, for which both overview and innovative articles are welcome for submission. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following topics:
- The state-of-the-art approaches for brain signal acquisition and processing for BMI applications.
The latest development of brain signal acquisition, brain behavior detection, classification, and identification techniques and the potential to be applied in BMI.
- The challenges of BMI applications.
Challenges and difficulties of BMI when employed in real-world applications. Approaches and potential to overcome these challenges and difficulties.
- Invasive and non-invasive BMI applications.
- Applications of BMI in medical, psychology, assistive techniques, training, and other fields.
- Integrating AI in BMI applications.
- BMI applications for human–machine collaborative systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
