Brain Science Advances is a peer-reviewed, international, and interdisciplinary open access journal with ISSN 2096-5958 and CN 10-1534/R, which is published quarterly by Tsinghua University Press and SAGE. Brain Science Advances publishes high-quality original research articles and review articles, focusing on basic neuroscience, clinical neuroscience, and neural engineering.

In the last two decades, neuroimaging techniques have made quite a splash in the analysis and diagnosis of neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and Schizophrenia, etc. However, each neuroimaging technique has its own merits, which leads to the development of multi-modal neuroimaging. Multi-modal neuroimaging techniques usually includes electroencephalography (EEG), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetoencephalography (MEG), positron emission tomography (PET), near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Compared with single-modal neuroimaging technique, multi-modal neuroimaging techniques can yield more detailed information about brain dynamics, identify more valuable information of potential neurobiological markers, and improve the diagnosis accuracy of neurological diseases. For this reason, the special issue aims to provide a collection of papers discussing the conceptual and methodological innovations as well as practical applications of the multi-modal neuroimaging techniques.

Technical topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Novel fusion methods of multi-modal neuroimaging data and applications;
• Machine learning methods and applications on neuroimaging data;
• Novel methods for combining clinical measures, behavioral performance and genetic data with neuroimaging data and applications
• Systematic review of multi-modal neuroimaging techniques and applications
