Abstract :
Brain informatics (BI) is an emerging interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research field that focuses on studying the mechanisms underlying the human information processing system. BI investigates the essential functions of the brain, ranging from perception to thinking, and encompassing such areas as multiperception, attention, emotion, memory, language, computation, heuristic search, reasoning, planning, decision making, problem solving, learning, discovery, and creativity. This special issue presents some of the best works being developed worldwide that deal with the new challenges of BI from an intelligent systems perspective.
