Aims & Scope

Network: Computation in Neural Systems is devoted to publishing theoretical neuroscience research that is supported by experimental data with a focus on new technologies. We encourage authors and researchers to submit their work on: Neural network computer models on brain function. Analyses on experimentally recorded neural and synaptic dynamics supporting brain function. Neural and synaptic mechanisms supporting psychiatric and neurological disorders. Emergent neural network dynamics supporting psychiatric and neurological disorders. Neural network approaches to artificial intelligence and machine consciousness Experimental and theoretical investigations on the neurobiological basis of consciousness. Applications for biologically-inspired neural networks in artificial intelligence. We also welcome submissions on neural network data analyses and biologically motivated neural modeling perspectives. Articles must contain significant mathematical support. Network: Computation in Neural Systems applies, but is not limited to, the following fields: Neurobiologists Psychologists Cognitive students Theoretical Neuroscience Artificial Intelligence/Consciousness Applied Mathematics
