The International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI) serie s has established itself as the world’s premier research conference on Bra in Informatics\, which is an emerging interdisciplinary and multidisciplin ary research field that combines the efforts of Cognitive Science\, Neuros cience\, Machine Learning\, Data Science\, Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to explore the main pro blems that lie in the interplay between human brain studies and informatic s research.
\nThe 16th International Conference on Brain Informatics (BI’23) provides a premier international forum to bring together research ers and practitioners from diverse fields for presentation of original res earch results\, as well as exchange and dissemination of innovative and pr actical development experiences on brain Informatics research\, brain-insp ired technologies and brain/mental health applications.
\nThe key th eme of the conference is “Brain Science meets Artificial Intellige nce“.
\nThe BI’23 solicits high-quality original research a nd application papers (both full paper and abstract submissions). Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

Cl assical Indian philosophers found the answer in theater\, arguing that it’ s not just a form of entertainment\, but a source of knowledge of other mi nds. In this talk\, I’ll explore how this theme is developed in Śrī Śaṅkuk a (c. 850 CE) and examine the reasons his views were rejected in the later tradition. I’ll argue that those reasons are unsound\, and that we can se e why by turning to contemporary studies of the relationship between knowl edge and luck.

He joined the Fellowship o f the British Academy in 2015\, and won the Infosys Prize in the Humanitie s the same year\, the only philosopher to do so.
\nThis series is cur ated and co-presented by Brooklyn Public Philosophers\, aka Ian Olasov.
\nBrooklyn Public Philosophers is a forum for philosophers in the greater Brooklyn area to discuss their work with a general audience\, hosted by the Brooklyn Public Library. Its goal is to raise awareness of t he best work on philosophical questions of interest to Brooklynites\, and to provide a civil space where Brooklynites can reason together about the philosophical questions that matter to them.
