The key theme: Brain Science meets Artificial Intelligence

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 Communication Technology (ICT) to explore the main problems that lie in the interplay between human brain studies and informatics research.

The 16th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'23) 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'23 solicits high-quality original research and application papers (both 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
  • Paper Submission and Publications

    service
  • Full Paper (Regular):
  • 1. 9-12 pages are strongly encouraged for the regular papers including figures and references in Springer LNCS Proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Over length papers will be charged for 100$ per page.
    2. All papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted based on originality, significance of contribution, technical merit, and presentation quality.
    3. All papers accepted (and all workshop & special sessions' full-length papers) will be published by Springer as a volume of the Springer-Nature LNAI Brain Informatics Book Series (https://link.springer.com/conference/brain).

  • Abstract Presentation:
  • Research abstracts are encouraged and will be accepted for presentations in an oral presentation format and/or poster presentation format. Each abstract submission should include the title of the paper and an abstract body within 1500 words. The abstract will not be included in the conference proceedings to be published by Springer.

  • Journal Opportunities:
  • High-quality BI conference papers will be nominated for a fast-track review and publication at the Brain Informatics Journal, (https://braininformatics.springeropen.com/) an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary Open Access journal published by Springer Nature. Discount or no open access article-processing fee will be charged for BI conference paper authors.

  • Special Issues & Books Opportunities:
  • Workshop/special session organizers and BI conference session chairs may consider and can be invited to prepare a book proposal of special topics for possible book publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics & Health Book Series (https://www.springer.com/series/15148), or a special issue at the Brain Informatics Journal.

    Workshop & Special Sessions

  • Proposal Submissions:
  • BI'23 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.

  • Proposal Guidelines:
  • Each proposal should include:

    1) workshop/special session title;

    2) length of the workshop (half/full day);

    3) names, main contact, and a short bio of the workshop organizers;

    4) brief description of the workshop scope and timeline;

    5) prior history of the workshop (if any);

    6) potential program committee members and invited speakers;

    7) any other relevant information.

  • Publications:
  • Accepted workshop and special session full papers will be published at the same BI proceedings at the Springer-Nature LNAI Brain Informatics Book Series (https://link.springer.com/conference/brain). Workshop organizers can be invited to contribute a book publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics & Health Book Series, or a special issue at the Brain Informatics Journal.
