Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of movement representation techniques has increased in recent years. Some of the most studied sensorimotor training techniques are motor imagery, action observation training, mirror therapy or virtual reality. All these tools are based on the mirror neuron system. At the clinical level, all these tools have been shown to have an impact both in isolation and in combination with real movement (increased strength, improved motor control, hypoalgesia effects, etc.).
In this Special Issue, we aim to delve deeper into the neurophysiological study of these tools. We want to study the brain activity underlying the application of motion representation techniques within a clinical context. For this, we accept research designs of a clinical case or case series, but also observational studies, clinical trials using neuroimaging as the main outcome measure and systematic reviews with or without the meta-analysis of brain activity studies with respect to movement representation techniques.

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. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2200 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.
