  3. Methodology (for Original Research Articles)
    Clearly describe the research design, instruments, devices used (e.g., EEG, eye tracker), experimental design, research location, participants, and data collection and analysis techniques (e.g., ICA, bandpass filtering, CNN classification). Include ethical approval information if applicable.

  4. Results and Discussion
    Present the main findings clearly, supported by tables or figures where necessary. The discussion should interpret the results and compare them with previous research, while addressing implications and limitations.
