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 15th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'22)
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'22 solicits high-quality original research and
application papers (both full paper and abstract 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 ***

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.
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.
Special Issues & Books:
-----------------------
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'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 regular 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.
Publications:
