CALL FOR PAPERS Brain Informatics (*https://braininformatics.springeropen.com <https://braininformatics.springeropen.com>*) Special Issue on *Machine Learning Techniques for Neuroscience Big Data* Guest Editors • Mufti Mahmud, Nottingham Trent University, UK, Mufti.Mahmud@ntu.ac.uk • M Shamim Kaiser, Jahangirnagar University, Bangladesh, mskaiser@juniv.edu • Ganesh K Naik, Western Sydney University, Australia, Ganesh.Naik@westernsydney.edu.au Developing data-intensive tools to process and analyse the neuronal big data is one of the biggest challenges posed to today’s multidisciplinary brain science community. To share recent progress in decoding neuronal information processing, both in healthy and diseased brain, this special issue aims to provide a forum for scientists from diverse disciplines including – computer, electrical, biomedical, and neuro-engineering – who are looking for more relevant information in interpreting brain functions and diagnosing diseases using Machine Learning based techniques. This Special Issue will focus on the latest machine learning techniques and methods of analysing Neuroscience Big Data. Researchers and practitioners working in related areas are invited to submit research papers for possible publication in this issue. The topics may include but are not limited to the following list: • Processing and modelling of neuronal data for disease diagnosis and brain decoding; • Bio-inspired methods for network analysis and pattern recognition in neural data; • Novel machine learning techniques for neuronal big data analysis; • Application of deep and/or reinforcement learning to neuronal big data analysis; • Computationally intelligent techniques for neuroscience applications; • Machine learning inspired Neuroinformatics (including cloud computing and real-time systems). Important Dates --------------------- • Paper submission deadline: December 31, 2019 • First-round notification: January 31, 2019 • Final decision notification: March 31, 2020 Submission Instructions For submission instructions please visit the journal website at *https://braininformatics.springeropen.com/submission-guidelines <https://braininformatics.springeropen.com/submission-guidelines>* or contact *Dr. Mufti Mahmud at Mufti.Mahmud@ntu.ac.uk <Mufti.Mahmud@ntu.ac.uk>* The complete manuscript should be submitted through online submission system at: *https://www.editorialmanager.com/brai/default.aspx <https://www.editorialmanager.com/brai/default.aspx>* Best regards, Mufti Mahmud, PhD | Senior Member - IEEE & ACM (Senior) Lecturer of Computing & Technology | Nottingham Trent University Associate Editor, IEEE Access & Brain Informatics Editorial Board Member, Cognitive Computation & Big Data Analytics Programme Co-chair, IEEE CICARE2019, Xiamen, China Workshop Co-chair, Brain Informatics 2019, Hainan, China Coordinator of Local Organizing Committee, IEEE WCCI2020, Glasgow, UK Office: ERD200 | Clifton Campus | Clifton Lane | NG11 8NS – Nottingham | United Kingdom Phone: +44 (0)115 84 83202 | Email: mufti.mahmud@ntu.ac.uk http://orcid.org/0000-0002-2037-8348 https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=L8em2YoAAAAJ&hl=en https://sites.google.com/site/muftimahmud/ https://www.ntu.ac.uk/staff-profiles/science-technology/mufti-mahmud
