Aims and scope

Brain Informatics is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary open-access journal published under SpringerOpen. Brain Informatics provides a unique platform for researchers and practitioners to disseminate original research outcomes on brain science adopting computational and informatics technologies, especially artificial intelligence. The journal aims at addressing human brain related issues from the computational, cognitive, physiological, biological, physical, ecological and social perspectives. It also solicits excellent works on emerging information technologies and advanced neuro-imaging technologies. Brain Informatics publishes high-quality original research papers, brief reports and critical reviews in all theoretical, technological, clinical and interdisciplinary studies that make up the field of brain informatics and its applications in brain-machine intelligence, brain-inspired intelligent systems, mental health and brain disorders, etc.

The key theme of the journal is "Brain Science meets Artificial Intelligence", and the scope includes five tracks:

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.

Special Issue Guidelines

Brain Informatics only accepts special issue proposals on an invitation basis.

All manuscripts for the special issue of Brain Informatics including invited and unsolicited ones shall be done through SNAPP system. The manuscripts submitted to the special issue also follow the single-blind reviewing procedure. Submitted manuscripts will generally be reviewed by two to three experts who will be asked to evaluate whether the manuscript is scientifically sound and coherent, whether it duplicates already published work, and whether or not the manuscript is sufficiently clear for publication. Reviewers will also be asked to indicate how interesting and significant the research is. The lead guest editor will reach a decision and the Editor-in-Chief will give the final decision based on the evaluation. You can read more about the peer-review process here.

Upcoming Conference

The 17th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'24) will be held from 13-15 December 2024, in Bangkok, Thailand. Welcome to exchange innovative and practical development experiences on Brain Informatics research, brain-inspired technologies and brain/mental health applications.
