Aim and Motivation:
Arguments about the brain and how it works are endless. Despite some conflicting conjectures and theories that have existed for decades without resolution, we have made significant progress in creating brain-like computational systems to solve some important engineering problems. It would be a good idea to step back and examine where we are in terms of our understanding of the brain and potential problems with the brain-like AI systems that have been successful so far. For this special issue of Cognitive Computation, we invite thoughtful articles on some of the issues that we have failed to address and comprehend in our journey so far in understanding the brain.
We aim for rapid peer-reviews by experts (about two weeks) for all selected submissions and plan to publish the special issue papers on a rolling basis from early 2022.
Topics:
We plan to publish a collection of short articles on a variety of topics that could be asking new questions, proposing new theories, resolving conflicts between existing theories, and proposing new types of computational models that are brain-like.
Deadlines:
SI submissions deadline: Extended to June 30 2022
First notification of acceptance: 11 June 2022
Submission of revised papers: 10 July 2022
Final notification to authors: 30 July 2022
Publication of SI: Rolling basis (2022)
