<p class="MsoNormal">***About the conference***<span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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. <span></span></p>
