Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As two of the most common electrogram techniques, electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG), that record the electrical activity of cortical neurons and muscle fibers, respectively, have been in use for about 100 years. Despite their longevity, EEG/EMG technology remains active in research across multiple areas, including medical diagnosis, neural–machine interface, physical/cognitive function assessment, and rehabilitation. In particular, the recent emergence of new materials, fabrication techniques, and information processing methods has revitalized the application of EEG/EMG technology in many fields. The development of flexible sensors has made it possible for devices to be wearable like clothing. The miniaturization, lightweighting, and integration of signal acquisition devices have led to the development of multimodal and high-density signal acquisition. The massive increase in information has also posed a huge challenge to signal processing techniques, and artificial intelligence and deep learning have shown great potential in this area, driving the application of EEG/EMG technology in various new fields.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to collate original research and review articles focused on recent advances, technologies, solutions, applications, and new challenges in EEG/EMG-based sensing technologies for biomedical applications.

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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
