International Workshop on Brain and Artificial Intelligence (BAI 2016)

Creating human-level intelligent system is the long-standing mission for the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) since its establishment nearly 60 years ago. Until now, however, there is still no general purpose intelligent system which can reach the human intelligence level in terms of coordinating various cognitive behaviors, adaptability of complex environments, and autonomous learning under new environments. With the advancement of Brain Science, Neuroscience, and Cognitive Science, it is now possible for partially observing and obtaining data on the activities of brain neural networks at multiple scales while they are conducting various cognitive tasks. Hence, understandings of the brain at multiple scales will bring inspirations to future Artificial Intelligence research and applications. This workshop aims at bringing researchers and practitioners from Brain Science, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, etc. to discuss how they can collaborate and inspire each other to advance Brain-inspired Artificial Intelligence. The workshop will be co-located with the 2016 International Conference on Brain Informatics & Health, October 13th, 2016 in Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
