5th Bioengineering Webinar
Advanced Technologies and Applications of MRI, fNIRS and EEG
On March 2, 2026, our webinar focused on “Advanced Technologies and Applications of MRI, fNIRS, and EEG” sponsored by the MDPI/Bioengineering was successfully held. Dr Dongrong Xu from Columbia University/NYSPI chaired the webinar, and Dr. Ravi Bansal from University of Southern California Medical School/Children’s Los Angeles Hospital and Dr. Weihui Dai from Fudan University School of Management shared with the audience from different continents over the world their frontier work in multimodal MRI, fNIRS and EEG research, and their state-of-the-art technologies in the applications to clinical and neuro-management social studies. The talks were inspiring and well received. Subsequently, Mr Kah Fee Ng from MDPI briefed the Journal and the submission guidelines to this special issue. To accommodate the incoming wave of submissions, MDPI has extended the deadline for this Special Issue to August 25, 2026. We look forward to your exciting new advances and insightful findings in these focused areas.
In this section, you will find the recordings of this webinar to watch, re-watch and share with your colleagues!
