<font face="Helvetica">The International Conference on Brain Informatics series (BI) started in 2006 and has established itself as the worlds 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 BI conference has been very successful in the past decade with active participation from </font><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OQx6Je57Vo&feature=youtu.be">world-leading
