A focus on the therapeutic applications of EEG, particularly in neurofeedback for conditions such as ADHD and depression, along with rehabilitation strategies for brain injury. - Interdisciplinary Perspectives:
Encouragement of interdisciplinary research that combines EEG with neuroimaging, cognitive psychology, and clinical neuroscience to enrich understanding and treatment of brain disorders.
Trending and Emerging
- Integration of AI and Machine Learning:
There is an increasing trend toward using artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze EEG data, improving diagnostic accuracy and personalizing treatment approaches. - Neurofeedback and Cognitive Enhancement:
Research on neurofeedback as a therapeutic tool for various conditions, including ADHD, depression, and anxiety, is gaining momentum, reflecting a broader interest in cognitive enhancement and rehabilitation. - Longitudinal Studies and Predictive Modeling:
An emerging focus on longitudinal studies that track EEG changes over time to predict clinical outcomes, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases and recovery from brain injuries. - Exploration of Comorbidities in Neuropsychiatric Disorders:
Increasing attention to the comorbidity of neurological and psychiatric disorders, with studies examining how EEG findings correlate with multiple conditions, such as anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. - Neurophysiological Biomarkers for Mental Health:
The identification of EEG-based biomarkers for mental health disorders is a growing area of research, aiming to enhance diagnostic precision and inform treatment strategies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional EEG Analysis Techniques:
There appears to be a waning interest in basic, traditional EEG analysis methods as researchers increasingly adopt more sophisticated and computational approaches, such as machine learning and deep learning. - Solely Descriptive Case Studies:
The journal has seen a decrease in the publication of purely descriptive case studies, moving towards more robust experimental and clinical trial designs that provide stronger evidence for clinical practice. - Focus on Single Disorder Studies:
There is a decreasing trend in studies focusing on single disorders in isolation. Instead, there is a growing preference for studies that explore comorbidities and the interplay between different neurological and psychiatric conditions. - Basic Neuroscience without Clinical Implications:
Research that does not directly translate to clinical application or lacks immediate relevance to patient care is becoming less common as the journal seeks to emphasize clinical relevance.
