Call for Workshop and Special Session Proposals

  • Proposal Submissions:
  • BI'22 will be hosting a series of workshops and special sessions featuring topics relevant to the brain informatics community on the latest research and industry applications.

  • Papers & Presentations:
  • A workshop/special session typically takes a half-day (or full-day) and includes a mix of regular and invited presentations including full papers, abstracts, invited papers as well as invited presentations. The paper and abstract submissions to workshops/special sessions will follow the same format as the BI conference papers and abstracts.

    All papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted based on originality, significance of contribution, technical merit, and presentation quality.
    All papers accepted (and all special sessions' full length papers) will be published by Springer as a volume of the series of LNCS/LNAI.
  • Type II: Abstract Submissions
    Abstracts have a word limit of 500 words. Experimental research is particularly welcome. Accepted abstract submissions will be included in the conference program and will be published as a single, collective proceedings volume.
