All accepted papers, including those from workshops and special sessions, will be published by Springer Nature as a volume of the LNAI Brain Informatics Book Series. The Brain Informatics conference series maintains an official collaboration with the Brain Informatics journal, an interdisciplinary Open Access journal indexed in ESCI (IF: 4.5) and published by Springer Nature. Authors of the best papers will be invited to expand their work and publish it as special issue articles in the Brain Informatics journal with a complete waiver of the open-access article-processing fee. Furthermore, workshop and special session organizers may be invited to prepare a book proposal on special topics for potential publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics & Health Book Series, or a special issue in the Brain Informatics Journal. |
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 Communication 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 (both full paper and abstract submissions). Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

Title: Whole-brain Modelling: Cartography of Eudaimonia and Flourishing In he Human Brain
Abstract: In order to survive, the brain must constantly extract, predict and recognise the essential spacetime features of complex environments. This distributed computation of information relies on having a hierarchy of optimal information transfer across the whole brain at the lowest possible metabolic cost. Suboptimal brain orchestration has been linked to mental illness, yet the fundamental principles of brain orchestration over fast and slow timescales are still not well understood. I will show how significant progress has been made using whole-brain modelling of neuroimaging data using new frameworks based on stochastic thermodynamics and turbulence. A series of studies have already furthered our understanding of human flourishing using data from experiments including music, food, social interactions, meditation and psychedelics. Overall, this new evidence has given rise to a deeper understanding of experiences that can give rise to both flourishing and suffering, providing meaning and purpose to life, and may eventually help to find novel ways to rebalance the brain in neuropsychiatric disorders.

Paper Submission and Publications
1. Full papers should be limited to (10 to 12 pages) for the regular papers and (6 to 9 pages) for the short papers including figures and references in Springer LNCS Proceedings format (https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). 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).
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 500 words. The abstract will not be included in the conference proceedings to be published by Springer.
High-quality BI conference papers will be nominated for a fast-track review and publication at the Brain Informatics Journal (ESCI, IF: 4.5), (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.
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.
Poster-Conference Publication
1. Accepted full papers will be selected to publish in the Brain
Informatics Journal upon revision.
2. Discount or no article-processing fee will be charged for
authors of Brain Informatics conference (https://braininformatics.springeropen.com/).
3. The organizers of Workshops and Special-Sessions are invited to prepare a book proposal based on the topics of the workshop/special session for possible book publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics and Health book series (http://www.springer.com/series/15148).
