Frontiers in Neuroscience has announced that Vince Calhoun is taking over from Russell A Poldrack and Jean-Baptiste Poline as Specialty Chief Editor for the Brain Imaging Method section. An electrical and biomedical engineer, Calhoun's research mainly focuses on brain imaging applications to study mental illness. He is currently President of The Mind Research Network in Albuquerque, and Distinguished Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of New Mexico.
As the section's founding chief editors, Poldrack and Poline were instrumental in building an outstanding editorial board and creating a strong community spirit between researchers from around the world.
Calhoun aims to build on this success and further expand into areas where brain imaging methods can make an impact on real-world problems.
According to Calhoun, the brain imaging field struggles with an almost unlimitless number of methods that are difficult to compare with one another. The field must also confront the issue of how to address re-analysis of existing data in a rigorous and systematic manner.
Another important aspect is that new discoveries and approaches should be freely available to everyone.
Calhoun began his career as an electrical engineer, but quickly became interested in the links between engineering and biology.
Calhoun also has a strong interest in developing and facilitating tools that can increase access to data.
The Brain Imaging Method section of Frontiers in Neuroscience welcomes high-quality article submissions and Research Topic proposals on the development, improvement, assessment and validation of methods for the acquisition, management, analysis or interpretation of neuroimaging data.
