The intersection of Health Data Science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) with Neuroscience and psychology represents a burgeoning field that promises to revolutionize our understanding of the human mind and brain. By harnessing the power of vast datasets—from behavioral and cognitive data to neuroimaging and genetic information —researchers can now explore the complexities of mental health, cognitive functions, and neurological disorders with unprecedented depth and precision. AI techniques, such as machine learning and deep learning, offer novel methodologies for analyzing these datasets, uncovering patterns and insights that elude traditional statistical approaches. This confluence of disciplines is paving the way for breakthroughs in diagnosing mental health conditions, tailoring treatments to individual needs, and unlocking the mysteries of brain function. This special issue aims to capture the innovative spirit of this field, highlighting research that exemplifies the synergy between neuroscience, Psychology, health data science and AI.

The overarching goal of this special issue is to tackle the multifaceted challenges in neuroscience and psychology analytics. The primary problem facing researchers in these fields is the complexity and heterogeneity of neurological and psychological data. Traditional analytical methods often fall short in fully capturing the nuances of human cognition, behavior, and neural processes. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of data types and volumes demands innovative approaches for integration, analysis, and interpretation.

To address these challenges, this issue aims to showcase recent advances in AI and data science that enhance our understanding and treatment of neurological and psychological conditions. We are particularly interested in contributions that leverage machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing, and other AI methodologies to dissect complex mental health disorders, cognitive functions, and brain networks. These advancements include but are not limited to, novel diagnostic tools, personalized therapeutic interventions, and groundbreaking insights into the biological underpinnings of mental health and neurological disorders.

By bringing together cutting-edge research that bridges these interdisciplinary fields, this special issue seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the brain and mind, ultimately contributing to improved outcomes in mental health and neurological care.

This Research Topic invites contributions that highlight the integration of artificial intelligence and data science methodologies within the realms of neuroscience and psychology. We aim to explore how these technologies can unravel the complexities of the mental health, behavior, and neural mechanisms, contributing to advancements in both fields.
