We also welcome studies defining signatures of neurological disorders and proposing BCI based treatments. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=clear>We expect to generate a body of knowledge valuable both to researchers working with clinical populations, but also to a vast majority of BCI researchers testing new algorithms on able-bodied people. This should lead towards more robust or tailor-made BCI protocols, facilitating translation of research from laboratories to the end users. <br><br>We are looking for the original work, data supported findings, as well as comprehensive review articles that map out what is and is not possible in this filed in the near and far future.<span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=clear><span style='color:black'>On behalf of topic editors<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=clear><span style='color:black'>Aleksandra Vuckovic<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
