Dear Sir/Madam,
As a Guest Editor for JoVE, I am organizing a Methods Collection titled "Multi-modal approaches to study dynamic neural signals of emotion". Please consider to submit abstracts (deadline Aug 12, 2019) and manuscripts to this collection.
Emotions are tightly associated with human thoughts, feelings and behaviors in various ways. Abnormal emotion processing leads to excessive or insufficient reactions, and is often accompanied by mental disorders such as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and alcohol or drug abuse. Therefore, the study of the neural correlates of human emotion processing bear important implications for fully understanding the inner mechanisms of emotion, and may contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of emotion-related mental disorders. It remains a significant challenge to non-invasively capture the neural signals of emotion in vivo, which often vary temporally and change dramatically across contexts. It also becomes increasingly important to merge findings from different modalities and through diverse analyses approaches. In this collection, we present a variety of experimental studies and methodologies for the investigation of emotion-related dynamic brain responses. The multidimensional neural responses will be recorded through the most widely-used neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), and magnetoencephalography (MEG).
JoVE is the leading peer-reviewed scientific methods video journal, aimed at increasing the visibility and reproducibility of research. JoVE's team takes care of the entire process of filming and producing your video. This Methods Collection will be the definitive record of “MRI, fMRI, EEG and MEG” techniques and related analyses, and set the standard for reproducibility within the community.
Once complete, this collection will be distributed to a comprehensive list of researchers who are active in the field. This will promote collaboration among researchers in the community and facilitate wider adoption of innovative methodologies.
This collection will be the go-to resource for methods in the field for years to come, and I look forward to including your article.
Would you be interested in contributing?
Submit an abstract here.

Guest Editor
