Preface
Brain-related diseases nowadays represent an increasingly prominent societal challenge, owing to their significant incidence in an ageing population. Hence, the quest for new, minimally invasive and personalised technologies for monitoring, diagnosis and therapy is an active, multidisciplinary research field. In such a framework, electromagnetic technologies are receiving ever-increasing attention, owing to their non-ionising, minimal risk nature, relative low-cost and portability and dual diagnostic-therapeutic nature. In fact, this topic has been one of the
