Connectionists: Call for Papers - Cognitive Computation Special Issue - "How the brain works: Where are we now and what remains to be learned?" - Submission Deadline - Jan 31, 2022

[Asim Roy]

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is about stepping back and taking a look at where we are in terms of understanding the brain. We want to publish short position papers, maximum 10 pages long. We are aiming for quick reviews, about two weeks. Further details are provided below.

Aim and Motivation:

Arguments about the brain and how it works are endless. Despite some conflicting conjectures and theories that have existed for decades without resolution, we have made significant progress in creating brain-like computational systems to solve some important engineering problems. It would be a good idea to step back and examine where we are in terms of our understanding of the brain and potential problems with the brain-like systems that have been successful so far. For this special issue of Cognitive Computation, we invite thoughtful articles on some of the issues that we have failed to address and comprehend in our journey so far in understanding the brain.

We aim for rapid peer-reviews by experts (about two weeks) for all selected submissions and plan to publish the special issue papers on a rolling basis from early 2022.

Topics:

We plan to publish a collection of short articles on a variety of topics that could be asking new questions, proposing new theories, resolving conflicts between existing theories, and proposing new types of computational models that are brain-like.

Deadlines:

SI submissions deadline: 31 January 2022
First notification of acceptance: 21 February 2022
Submission of revised papers: 10 March 2022
Final notification to authors: 31 March 2022
Publication of SI: Rolling basis (2022)

Submission Instruction:

Prepare your paper in accordance with the Journal guidelines: www.springer.com/12559<https://urldefense.com/v3/__http:/www.springer.com/12559__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!I-s2QhxTWc5jBRDov2CgMdfef05-RRKPvYfttGh7Qz3tYhg9vRr_oCibLJ5F3Rc$>.
