***About the conference***
The International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI) series has
established itself as the world's premier research conference on Brain
Informatics, which is an emerging interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
research field that combines the efforts of Cognitive Science,
Neuroscience, Machine Learning, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence (AI),
and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to explore the main
problems that lie in the interplay between human brain studies and
informatics research.
The 18th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'25) provides a
premier international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners
from diverse fields for presentation of original research results, as well
as exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical development
experiences on Brain Informatics research, brain-inspired technologies and
brain/mental health applications.
*** Topics and Areas ***
The key theme of the conference is "Brain Science meets Artificial
Intelligence".
The BI'25 solicits high-quality original research and application papers
(full paper and abstract presentation submissions). Relevant topics include
but are not limited to:
Track 1: Cognitive and Computational Foundations of Brain Science
Track 2: Human Information Processing Systems
Track 3: Brain Big Data Analytics, Curation and Management
Track 4: Informatics Paradigms for Brain and Mental Health Research
Track 5: Brain-Machine Intelligence and Brain-Inspired Computing
