Editorial: Macrophages Role in Integrating Tissue Signals and Biological Processes in Chronic Inflammation and Fibrosis

Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the First EOG Controlled Robot

Controlling robots using signals from a human head started in 1988 with control of a robot using EEG signals [1-3]. The next year, 1989, the first control of a robot using EOG signal took place [4,5]. This Editorial marks 25th Anniversary of that event. In the sequel, before describing the 1989 pioneering event, the paper will describe the challenge of controlling objects using biosignals, stat...

Editorial: Using neurophysiological signals that reflect cognitive or affective state

The central question of this Frontiers Research Topic is: What can we learn from brain and other physiological signals about an individual’s cognitive and affective state and how can we use this information? This question reflects three important issues which are addressed by the 22 articles in this volume: (1) the combination of central and peripheral neurophysiological measures; (2) the diver...

Editorial overview: Development and behavior

Early life experiences can have a profound impact on developmental trajectories, with implications for later life biobehavioral outcomes. This phenomenon is highly conserved across species and occurs in response to a broad range of environmental signals. The papers in this issue highlight the influence of experiences occurring during sensitive periods in early development, including prenatal, p...

Advancing the evidence to improve the nutrition of populations: a refreshed vision and scope for Nutrition Journal

Background This editorial introduces a revised and refreshed scope for Nutrition Journal, one of BioMed Central’s open access journals. Diet is among the leading risk factors for morbidity and mortality globally [1]. This signals the need for highquality policy-relevant nutrition research to advance the evidence base on strategies to promote and support healthy eating, as well as effective diss...
