Discussion: Interpret the results in the context of existing literature, and discuss potential applications, challenges, and directions for future research.

Conclusion: Summarize the key findings and their implications for the development and application of BCI technologies.

References: All citations should be in APA format. Ensure that all references are relevant and up-to-date.

Figures and Tables:

Figures and tables should be placed within the manuscript, clearly numbered, and accompanied by descriptive captions. All images should meet the required resolution for both print and online publication (at least 300 dpi).

Review Process:

All submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process. The journal aims to provide initial feedback within four to six weeks, and authors will be required to revise their manuscript based on reviewer comments. Manuscripts will be accepted based on scientific quality and relevance to the journal’s scope.

Ethical Considerations:

All authors must ensure that their research complies with ethical guidelines. For studies involving human or animal subjects, appropriate ethical approval must be obtained from an institutional review board or ethics committee. This approval must be stated in the manuscript.

Copyright and Open Access:

Upon acceptance of an article, the copyright will be transferred to the journal. All articles are published under an open-access model, making them freely accessible to researchers, clinicians, and the public worldwide.

Publication Fees:

A publication fee of $1,500 is applicable to accepted articles. Authors who are unable to meet this fee may apply for a fee reduction or waiver by contacting the editorial office prior to submission.
