*CALL FOR PAPERS* *Movement Analysis for Health and Biometrics* https://www.mdpi.com/journal/applsci/special_issues/Movement_Analysis_Health... Applied Sciences, MDPI - (IF: 2.679; CiteScore: 3.0, JCR - Q2 (Engineering, Multidisciplinary) / CiteScore - Q2 (General Engineering)) // DEADLINE FOR MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION \\ \\ 31 MARCH 2022 // Movement is being investigated in biomechanics, neuroscience, psychology, and artificial intelligence. The progress that has been made in modeling and analyzing movement is contributing to both the understanding of human movement and the development of new applications. In particular, the availability of low cost and pervasive devices for recording movements (wearable devices, smartphones, tablets, cameras, etc.), together with machine learning methods for the quantitative and automatic analysis of movement, has put forward the development of systems for user authentication, medical diagnosis, and rehabilitation monitoring. A leading example is the use of artificial intelligence methods for the analysis of complex movements such as handwriting and gait, which is improving our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying human movement and, at the same time, enriching the fields of e-health and e-security with new applications. Another successful example is the design of control systems for prosthetic devices that exploit knowledge about movement execution and artificial intelligence methods. This Special Issue aims to highlight how movement analysis and new technologies are innovating the fields of health and biometrics and contributing to human movement understanding. *TOPICS* Topics include but are not limited to the following: - gait analysis - handwriting analysis - pose estimation - speech analysis - eye-tracking analysis - neurodegenerative disorder diagnosis and prognosis - assessment of movement disorders - assessment of neurodevelopmental disorders - characterization of fine motor problems - user authentication - signature verification - writer verification - movement-based biometric systems - wearable devices - biomechanical models - assistive robots for rehabilitation - prosthetic devices - brain–computer interfaces *DATES * - Deadline for manuscript submission: 31 March 2022 *Why you should submit a paper to this special issue* If this issue publishes 10 papers, we will print it into an E-book and real book, making your works highly circulated. See http://www.mdpi.com/books/pdfview/book/250 (with ISBN number). Some other researchers in this area have confirmed to contribute, we will be very honored if you are able to participate as well.

Rapid Publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision provided to authors approximately 13.8 days after submission (median values for papers published in this journal in the first half of 2021). *SUBMISSIONS * Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering <https://www.mdpi.com/user/register/> and logging in to this website <https://www.mdpi.com/user/login/>. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form <https://susy.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/?journal=applsci>. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All papers will be peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website. Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process.
