Call for Papers: Information Processing in Cortical Networks

Brain research progressed tremendously over recent decades, but understanding how cortical networks encode and decode information is still an open issue, and the ultimate question of information processing in our brains eludes us. Being highly multidisciplinary in nature, research into information processing in cortical networks (IPCNs) should combine vast amounts of heterogeneous data and information to provide theories and conclusions. A fruitful synergy has evolved between computational neuroscience and neurobiology; computational models are employed to predict in vivo measurements and to study the functioning of brain structures.

A special issue of the journal "Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience" will bring together the various experimental fields by concentrating on the leitmotif information processing in cortical and cortical-like networks and the understanding of the basic principles of their functioning. The emphasis will be on information processing in networks comprising a few or up to tens of thousands of neurons.
