Biomedical Sensors for Functional Mapping: Techniques, Methods, Experimental and Medical Applications

The rapid advancement of biomedical sensor technology has revolutionized the field of functional mapping in medicine, offering novel and powerful tools for diagnosis, clinical assessment, and rehabilitation. The ability to collect and analyze various physiological signals, even in real-time, has provided unprecedented insights into the "hidden" functioning of the human body. Biomedical sensors have not only enhanced our understanding of human physiology but have also significantly impacted clinical decision-making, patient management, and the development of personalized medical interventions. This Special Issue presents a collection of 14 papers that showcase the diverse applications of biomedical sensors in the context of functional mapping. The papers can be grouped into three sections, highlighting their contributions to (i) medical diagnosis, detection and prediction; (ii) neurological and rehabilitation assessment; and (iii) medical applications and monitoring. Together, these papers shed light on the transformative role of biomedical sensors in understanding physiological mechanisms and enhancing healthcare practices.
