In the methodology area, the interests are twofold: neuroimaging techniques as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial direct/alternate current stimulation (tDCS/tACS), and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), together with multivariate analytical tools of the functional data like artificial neural networks (ANNs), and the construction of theory, with prominence to grounded theory, which is also a matter of concern and study.
