Abstract

About the Journal

BRAIN-BroadResearchinArtificialIntelligenceandNeuroscience aims to create links between researchers from apparently different scientific fields, such as Computer Science and Neurology. In fact, many topics, such as Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Sciences, and Neurosciences, can intersect in the study of the brain and its intelligence functions.

Our journal contains peer-reviewed articles. These should be original and unpublished works by the authors. The peer review process is conducted anonymously, with reviewers being well-recognised scientists from our scientific board, as well as independent experts.

Some innovative young researchers from around the world had the idea to edit and publish the BRAIN journal in order to make an agora of an interdisciplinary study of the brain. Young scientists and seniors in artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, and neurology fields are expected to publish their original works in our journal.

BRAIN Journal is an open-source journal, dedicated to promoting the latest scientific news in the field of multidisciplinary studies of the brain, consciousness, and their connection with artificial intelligence. 

BRAIN Journal supports research and novelty in health, medicine, and the life sciences.

Journal History and website content

BRAIN journal was edited by EduSoft from its first volume, in 2010, until issue 3 of volume 10 (2019). Based on the contract between EduSoft and Lumen, starting with Issue 4, Volume 10, 2019, and finishing with Issue 2, Volume 15, 2024, the Journal was published by LUMEN Publishing House, on behalf of EduSoft.

The content of the journal until August 2024 is available in mirroring, both on
