The International Conference on Brain Informatics series (BI) started in 2006 and 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 BI’18 provides a premier international forum to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse fields for the presentation of original research on brain informatics.
