Connectionists: Special Issue "Probabilistic Inference in Goal-Directed Human and Animal Decision-Making" [journal Entropy, IF=2.419]

[Domenico Maisto]

Dear Colleagues,

please consider submitting a research article/review to the special issue
of Entropy <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy> “Probabilistic Inference
in Goal-Directed Human and Decision-Making”.

This special issue aims to focus on recent computational, methodological,
algorithmic advances regarding inferential processing in decision-making
with particular attention on efficiency and biological plausibility.

Topics include:

- computational and neuronal circuits involved in goal-directed decision
making, with a focus on the inferential mechanisms;

- novel probabilistic models and methods in decision making including
information-theory approaches, statistical and free-energy minimization,
hierarchical models, deep networks

- decision-making applications in ethological, social, psychological,
psychiatric, robotics, and computer science research.


Entropy <https://www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy> is an online open access
interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal of growing popularity providing an
advanced forum for the development and/or application of entropic and
information-theoretic studies in a wide variety of applications.

Author Benefits:

- Open Access: free for readers, with article processing charges (APC) paid
by authors or their institutions.

- High visibility: indexed by the Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of
Science), MathSciNet (AMS), Inspec (IET), Scopus and other databases.

- Rapid publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision
provided to authors approximately 19.1 days after submission; acceptance to
publication is undertaken in 5 days (median values for papers published in
this journal in the second half of 2018).
