Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Eye tracking has emerged as a pivotal tool in the study of neurological and psychiatric conditions across a person’s life span. This methodology has evolved to provide precise insights into cognitive processes, allowing us to enhance our understanding of various conditions, from developmental disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder) to cognitive decline in multiple sclerosis, mild cognitive impairment or dementias.
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the application of eye-tracking technologies in the monitoring and assessment of neurological and psychiatric conditions throughout the human life span. We are interested in fostering knowledge about the complex relationship between eye movements and cognitive–emotional processing by investigating how these dynamics change in response to various neurological and psychiatric conditions.
We invite the submissions of empirical studies, theoretical reviews, and methodological advancements. Papers may address diverse topics such as the use of eye tracking in diagnosing and monitoring neurological and/or psychiatric conditions, identifying digital biomarkers relevant to specific disorders, exploring the developmental trajectory of eye movement patterns, or implementing therapeutic interventions driven by eye-tracking data.
This Special Issue aims to foster a deeper understanding of how eye tracking can contribute to both basic and clinical neuroscience, ultimately paving the way for innovative strategies in diagnosis and treatment.
We encourage researchers from diverse disciplines to contribute their findings and insights, promoting a comprehensive dialogue on this burgeoning field.

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.
