The Physical Neuroergonomics section of Frontiers in Neuroergonomics publishes high-quality fundamental, translational, and applied research across the field of applied neuroscience and physiology, biomechanics, neurophysiology, motor control and sports sciences. The objective of the Physical Neuroergonomics Specialty Section is to encourage and allow for broader worldwide access to interdisciplinary research and methodological articles of both rigor and relevance focusing on the knowledge of human brain activities in relation to the voluntary control of movements and motor activities, and design of physical tasks.

The objective of the Physical Neuroergonomics Specialty Section is to encourage and allow for broader worldwide access to interdisciplinary research and methodological articles of both rigor and relevance focusing on the knowledge of human brain activities in relation to the voluntary control of movements and motor activities, and design of physical tasks.
Physical Neuroergonomics is an extensive field, which addresses timely studies dealing with human brain in control of muscular performance in the environment and in motor control tasks. Research in physical neuroergonomics emphasizes especially the cerebral cortex, which is involved in controlling muscle activation and smoothing high-speed motor control processes. It discusses these issues in conditions of health, workplace, fatigue, training, injury and disease states.
Examples of areas proposed for the section include, but are not limited to:
· Neural correlates of physical performance
· Neuro-biomechanics of movement
· Work-related injury prevention
· Rehabilitation and recovery
· Physical fatigue and force production
· Wearable technology for workload evaluation
· Brain and body monitoring of athlete and sports sciences
· Neuroenhancement techniques for performance
· Cognitive benefits of exercise intervention
The section particularly encourages submissions of original research on any aspect of the integrated neuroimaging of peripheral and central nervous function during physical activities, as well as manuscripts that document the application of objective measures of brain and behaviour on topics relevant to the study of physical neuroergonomics. Authors are encouraged to report and discuss individual responses of tested individuals. Reviews and commentaries that focus on topics of current research and interest in Physical Neuroergonomics are highly encouraged. We are also looking to publish methodological and technical reports, and case reports if implying substantial advancement of knowledge.
