***About the conference***
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 16th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI'23) 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'23 solicits high-quality original research and application papers
(full paper and abstract presentation 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

***Journal Opportunities***
High quality BI conference papers may be nominated to submit an extended
version 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.
Real-time Journal's Impact Factor: 8.5.

*** Paper Submission and Publications ***
Submission link:
http://wi-consortium.org/conferences/bi2023/paper%20submissions%20and%20publications.html
9-12 pages are encouraged for the regular papers including figures and
references in Springer LNCS Proceedings format (
https://www.springer.com/us/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines).
Overlength pages will be charged 200$ per page.
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 Presentation Submission:
Submission link:
http://wi-consortium.org/conferences/bi2023/paper%20submissions%20and%20publications.html
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 1500 words. Note: The abstract will not be included in the
conference proceedings to be published by Springer.

Special Issues & Books:
Workshop organizers can be invited to contribute a 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'23 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.

Proposal Guidelines:
Each proposal should include:
1) workshop/special session title;
2) length of the workshop (half/full day);
3) names, main contact, and a short bio of the workshop organizers;
4) brief description of the workshop scope and timeline;
5) prior history of the workshop (if any);
6) potential program committee members and invited speakers;
7) any other relevant information.
