Co-Chaired by Prof Karl Friston & Prof Yike Guo @ Imperial College London
(Aug 30 – Sep2, 2015), BIH’15 crosses the disciplines of neuroscience,
cognitive science, computer science, signal processing, and neuroimaging.
It also draws special attention to informatics for brain science, human
behaviour and health.

*****************



Conference Theme:



Brain informatics has emerged as a distinct field of research. It crosses
the disciplines of neuroscience, cognitive science, computer science,
signal processing, and neuroimaging technologies. The data driven nature of
brain research made brain informatics an important field of data science.
Following the success of past conferences in this series, BIH’15 will take
place at Imperial College London, in UK. For the first time, BIH gathers
the researchers from major international brain research projects to form a
forum for reviewing the progress of brain informatics research and its
applications to human health and building up international collaboration.
The conference will also organise an exhibition from industrial and
research community.



BIH’15 draws special attention to informatics for brain science, human
behaviour and health. BIH’15 will address informatics approaches to both
the brain and behaviour research with a strong emphasis on emerging trends
of big data analysis and management technology for brain research,
behaviour learning, and real-world applications of brain science in human
health and wellbeing.



The distinguished speakers include:

BIH’15 welcomes paper submissions (full paper and abstract submissions).
Both research and application papers are solicited. All submitted papers
will be reviewed on the basis of technical quality, relevance, significance
and clarity. Accepted full papers will be included in the proceedings by
Springer LNCS/LNAI.



=================================



ABSTRACT SUBMISSIONS & PUBLICATIONS:





Submission Deadline: June 16, 2015



Each abstract is limited to 500 words. Experimental research is
particularly welcome. Accepted abstract submissions will be included in the
conference program, and will be published as a single, collective
proceedings volume.



Title: Include in the title of the abstract all words critical for a
subject index. Write your title in sentence case (first letter is
capitalized; remaining letters are lower case). Do not bold or italicize
your full title.



Author: List all authors who contributed to the work discussed in the
abstract. The presenting author must be listed in the first author slot of
the list. Be prepared to submit contact information as well as conflict of
interest information for each author listed.



Abstract: Enter the body of the abstract and attach any applicable graphic
files or tables here. Do not re-enter the title, author, support, or other
information that is collected in other steps of the submission form.



Presentation Preference: Authors may select from three presentation formats
when submitting an abstract: “poster only,”, “talk preferred” or “no
preference.” The “talk preferred” selection indicates that you would like
to give a talk, but will accept a poster format if necessary. Marking
“poster only” indicates that you would not like to be considered for an
oral-presentation session. Selecting “no preference” indicates the author’s
willingness to be placed in the best format for the program.



Each abstract requires one sponsoring attendee (i.e. someone who registered
and is attending the conference). A single attendee can not sponsor more
than two abstracts or papers.





Oral presentations will be selected from both full length papers and
abstracts.
