Connectionists: CFP: Invited Session on Cognitive Computing and Neuro-Cognitive Robots

[Huajin Tang]

7th IEEE International Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems
(CIS 2015)


*Invited Session *

Cognitive Computing and Neuro-Cognitive Robots



*Call For Papers*



It has been a challenge in neuroscience and computer science for many years
to implement brain-style intelligence in an artificial neural system. In
complementary to traditional machine learning algorithms and robotics
techniques, cognitive computing based on neuro-inspired models and
algorithms with robotic simulation has become a popular stream to target
the core problem of brain-style intelligence. Based on neuro-anatomic and
physiological features of various sensory and brain regions, the synthetic
neural systems are the fundamental approaches to understand cognitive
computing mechanisms, including neural coding, spiking timing based
learning, recognition and perception. Embodying the cognitive functions and
computations undertaken by the brain in robotic system, neuro-cognitive
robots are providing a systematic framework necessary to emulate
brain-style cognition and autonomy in a physical environment. The 7th IEEE
International Conference on Cybernetics and Intelligent Systems (CIS
2015) Invited Session on “Cognitive Computing and Neuro-Cognitive Robots”
aims to reflect the efforts and achievements of the current research
stream, by inviting scientists and researchers to report their
state-of-the-art technologies and theories on computational modelling,
theory, experiments and applications.
