認知神經(jīng)科學發(fā)表了關(guān)于認知神經(jīng)科學領(lǐng)域任何主題的高質(zhì)量的討論論文和實證論文，包括知覺、注意力、記憶、語言、行為、社會認知和執(zhí)行功能。該雜志涵蓋了基于各種技術(shù)的發(fā)現(xiàn)，如FMRI，ERPS，MEG，TMS和病灶研究。鼓勵使用或討論多種技術(shù)來揭示認知過程中的時空腦機制的貢獻。該期刊通過快速審查和快速在線發(fā)布的簡短報告填補了市場的重要位置。此外，較長的討論文件將評估該領(lǐng)域當前的熱門話題，并以同行評論的形式進行批判性分析。我們的目標是在7天內(nèi)在線發(fā)布已接受（但未經(jīng)修正）的討論文件和報告，并在6周內(nèi)以最終形式發(fā)布。

Cognitive Neuroscience publishes high quality discussion papers and empirical papers on any topic in the field of cognitive neuroscience including perception, attention, memory, language, action, social cognition, and executive function. The journal covers findings based on a variety of techniques such as fMRI, ERPs, MEG, TMS, and focal lesion studies. Contributions that employ or discuss multiple techniques to shed light on the spatial-temporal brain mechanisms underlying a cognitive process are encouraged. The journal fills an important niche in the market by publishing shorter Reports with fast reviewing and rapid online publication. In addition, longer Discussion Papers will evaluate current hot topics in the field with critical analysis in the form of peer commentary. We aim to publish accepted (but uncorrected) Discussion Papers and Reports online within 7 days and in final form within 6 weeks.
