<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">The International Conference on Brain Informatics series (BI) has established itself as the world's premier research forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from neuroscience, cognitive science,
computer science, data science, artificial intelligence, information communication technologies, and neuroimaging technologies with the purpose of exploring the fundamental roles, interactions as well as practical impacts of Brain Informatics.</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">The BI'18 will provide a broad forum that academia, professionals and industry people can exchange their ideas, findings, and strategies </div>
<div style="font-family: -webkit-standard;">in brain informatics research and brain-inspired concepts and technologies. It welcomes emerging technologies for addressing fundamental neurobiological questions about healthy brain function, laying the groundwork
for advancing treatments for brain disorders or injury, and for generating brain-inspired "smart" artificial intelligence and computing technologies to meet future societal needs. It will educate and expand the brain informatics workforce and create new career
opportunities for brain research and related innovations.</div>
