The integration of neuroscience and artificial intelligence has emerged as one of the most promising approaches to achieving AI with human-like problem-solving capabilities. To realize this goal, it is essential to understand and mimic the computational functions of the brain, which requires knowledge from a wide range of disciplines, including neuroscience and cognitive science.
The International Whole Brain Architecture Workshop (WBA-WS) series is designed to address this challenging task. The primary objective of these workshops is to facilitate the submission, review, and publication of Brain Reference Architecture (BRA) data and related data papers in the Brain Reference Architecture Editing System (BRAES) using a standardized format. BRAES is specifically designed to handle standardized BRA data and associated data papers.
By bringing together researchers from various fields to engage in professional discussions about BRA data, we aim to clarify its academic value and expand its potential applications. This collaborative effort is expected to make significant contributions to the development of brain-inspired AI.
We encourage your active submission of BRA data and data papers, as well as your participation in the workshops. Together, let’s create a platform where brain science and artificial intelligence can converge to produce innovative results.
