Recent advances in the development of electroencephalography (EEG) headsets, imaging modalities (MRI, fMRI, PET...) have led to opportunities and challenges in neural signal processing, a specialized area of signal processing. This Special Session aims to bring together researchers from all over the world to discuss about vision, challenges, and key signal processing techniques when dealing with Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems and brain disorders. This Special Session welcomes original contributions in all pertinent aspects and challenges of signal processing for signal filtering, detection and classification of brain activities and disorders.
