Frontiers Special Issue call for abstracts on VNS

Frontiers Special Issue call -Modeling, Estimation, and Control Approaches to Vagus Nerve Stimulation for Peripheral Organ-Specific Diseases

Abstract Submission Deadline 24 July 2023

Manuscript Submission Deadline 23 October 2023

Original research articles and review articles on the topics mentioned below. The specific scope includes, but is not limited to:

1. Biophysiological, computational, and data-driven modeling approaches to account for the effect of VNS on the healthy and diseased physiology of internal organs, such as the heart, stomach, lungs, colons, urinary systems, etc.

2. System identification approaches applied to specific organ systems.

3. Parameter estimation techniques for physiological modeling of organs in healthy and diseased cases.

4. Application of AI/machine learning in modeling/optimizing the effect of VNS on specific organ physiology in healthy and diseased cases.

5. Feedback control approaches for controlling organs' physiology by stimulating vagal nerves, including classical control approaches as well as machine learning and reinforcement learning approaches.
