*Introduction:*

The brain, being the most complex organ in human body, is specialized to
process information simultaneously coming from many different sources. The
neurons work as basic information processing units in the brain and
interconnect to each other to form hierarchical and/or parallel pathways.
These pathways are mainly involved in transforming information originated
from one or more sources into either action (as in motor movements) or
specialized information understood by the brain itself (as in cognitive
functions).

To have a detailed and better understanding of these biological phenomena
two approaches have been practiced by the research community – experimental
and theoretical studies. Also, some theoretical studies are inspired by the
nature itself which reframes earlier computational techniques to suggest
research on biophysical basis of brain research and its information
processing capabilities. Needless to say that most of these studies are
results of interdisciplinary research involving medical sciences, life
sciences, physical sciences, engineering, and cognitive sciences.

*Scope:*

The focus of this special session is to address the recent advances in
computationally intelligent techniques in processing neural information.
Developing intelligent methods capable of deciphering brain’s information
processing capability is one the biggest challenges in brain research. The
objective of this special session is to provide updated information and a
forum for the scientists and researchers who are looking for more relevant
information in decoding brain functions using expert and computationally
intelligent systems.

This special session is expected to attract papers on recent research
progress in the area of intelligent methods in processing neural signals.
The targeted research topics are, but not limited to, the following:

Ø Computationally intelligent tools for analysis of Spikes, LFP, EEG, MEG,
MRI/fMRI, PET, and fNIRS;

Ø Computationally intelligent methods for modeling and estimating neural
signals;

Ø Computational intelligence in developing smart BMI and neural prosthesis;

Ø Biologically inspired methods for pattern analysis in neuronal signals;

Ø Machine learning methods applied to brain research;

*Submission of papers:*
