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.

The 15th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'22) provides a
premier international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners
from diverse fields for presentation of original research results, as well
as exchange and dissemination of innovative and practical development
experiences on Brain Informatics research, brain-inspired technologies and
brain/mental health applications.

*** Topics and Areas ***

The key theme of the conference is "Brain Science meets Artificial
Intelligence".
The BI'22 solicits high-quality original research and application papers
(both full paper and abstract submissions).
Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

Track 1: Cognitive and Computational Foundations of Brain Science
Track 2: Human Information Processing Systems
Track 3: Brain Big Data Analytics, Curation and Management
Track 4: Informatics Paradigms for Brain and Mental Health Research
Track 5: Brain-Machine Intelligence and Brain-Inspired Computing

*** Paper Submission and Publications ***

Paper Submission ( Regular and Short ):
-----------------
Main Conference On-Line Paper Submission:
https://wi-lab.com/cyberchair/2022/bi22/scripts/submit.php?subarea=B

Additional pages will be charged.

All papers will be peer-reviewed and accepted based on originality,
significance of contribution, technical merit, and presentation quality.

All papers accepted (and all workshop & special sessions' full-length
papers) will be published by Springer as a volume of the Springer-Nature
LNAI Brain Informatics Book Series (
https://link.springer.com/conference/brain).

Abstract Submission (Only for Workshops/Special Sessions):
--------------------
Research abstracts are encouraged and will be accepted for presentations in
an oral presentation format and/or poster presentation format. Each
abstract submission should include the title of the paper and an abstract
body within 500 words.

Journal Opportunities:
----------------------
High-quality BI conference papers will be nominated for a fast-track review
and publication at the Brain Informatics Journal (
https://braininformatics.springeropen.com/), an international,
peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary Open Access journal published by Springer
Nature.

Special Issues & Books:
-----------------------
Workshop/special session organizers and BI conference session chairs may
consider and can be invited to prepare a book proposal of special topics
for possible book publication in the Springer-Nature Brain Informatics &
Health Book Series (https://www.springer.com/series/15148), or a special
issue at the Brain Informatics Journal.

*** Workshop & Special Sessions ***

Proposal Submissions:
---------------------
BI'22 will be hosting a series of workshops and special sessions featuring
topics relevant to the brain informatics community on the latest research
and industry applications.

Papers & Presentations:
-----------------------
A workshop/special session typically takes a half-day (or full-day) and
includes a mix of regular and invited presentations including regular
papers, abstracts, invited papers as well as invited presentations. The
paper and abstract submissions to workshops/special sessions will follow
the same format as the BI conference papers and abstracts.

Publications:
-------------
Accepted workshop and special session full papers will be published at the
same BI proceedings at
the Springer-Nature LNAI Brain Informatics Book Series (
https://link.springer.com/conference/brain).
Workshop organizers can be invited to contribute a book publication in the
Springer-Nature Brain Informatics & Health Book Series, or a special issue
