《人類大腦圖譜》發表了經過同行評審的基礎臨床技術和理論研究，該領域的跨學科和迅速擴展的人類大腦圖譜。該雜志的特色研究源自非侵入性腦成像模式，用于探索支持人類行為的神經系統的時空組織。感興趣的成像方式包括正電子發射斷層掃描、事件相關電位、電磁腦成像、磁共振成像和單光子發射斷層掃描。鼓勵在正常人群和臨床人群中開展腦圖譜研究。文章格式包括原始研究、臨床病例報告、技術發展、理論文章和綜合評論。技術進步，如用于檢測或定位神經活動的新型腦成像方法分析，以及在設計行為范式和神經系統建模方面對多種成像模式策略的協同使用，都具有特殊的意義。該雜志贊同傳播方法標準，并將鼓勵在人腦繪圖領域開發數據庫。

Human Brain Mapping publishes peer-reviewed basic clinical technical and theoretical research in the interdisciplinary and rapidly expanding field of human brain mapping. The journal features research derived from non-invasive brain imaging modalities used to explore the spatial and temporal organization of the neural systems supporting human behavior. Imaging modalities of interest include positron emission tomography event-related potentials electro-and magnetoencephalography magnetic resonance imaging and single-photon emission tomography. Brain mapping research in both normal and clinical populations is encouraged. Article formats include original research clinical case reports technological developments theoretical articles and synthetic reviews. Technical advances such as novel brain imaging methods analyses for detecting or localizing neural activity synergistic uses of multiple imaging modalities strategies for the design of behavioral paradigms and neural-systems modeling are of particular interest. The journal endorses the propagation of methodological standards and will encourage database development in the field of human brain mapping.
