Call for papers: tDCS application for motor rehabilitation

Articles are now invited for a thematic series discussing the most recent advances in tDCS for motor rehabilitation. Guest edited by Rodrigo Vitório, Samuel Stuart, Leigh Charvet and Alan Godfrey, this series aims to address topics such as theoretical, methodological, and practical approaches to be considered when designing tDCS-based rehabilitation. Submission of both experimental and review studies is encouraged.

Featured review: tDCS for improving capacity in activities and arm function after stroke: a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials

Aims and scope

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation considers manuscripts on all aspects of research that result from cross-fertilization of the fields of neuroscience, biomedical engineering, and physical medicine and rehabilitation. JNER provides a forum for researchers and clinicians interested in understanding the way neuroscience and biomedical engineering are continuing to reshape physical medicine and rehabilitation. JNER hosts the introduction of new methods and the discussion of their clinical implications, and offers an opportunity to publish, in a timely manner, articles relevant to the intersection of these three fields.
