Understanding brain function is one of the greatest challenges facing
science. Today, brain science is experiencing rapid changes and is expected
to achieve major advances in the near future. In April 2013, U.S. President
Barack Obama formally announced the Brain Research Through Advancing
Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative, the BRAINInitiative. In Europe,
the European Commission has recently launched the European Human Brain Project
(HBP). In the private sector, the Allen Institute for Brain Science is
embarking on a new 10-year plan to generate comprehensive, large-scale data
in the mammalian cerebral cortex under the MindScope project. These ongoing
and emerging projects are expected to generate a deluge of data that
capture the brain activities at different levels of organization. There is
thus a compelling need to develop the next generation of data mining and
knowledge discovery tools that allow one to make sense of this raw data and
to understand how neurological activity encodes information.



This workshop will focus on exploring the forefront between computer
science and brain science and inspiring fundamentally new ways of mining
and knowledge discovery from a variety of brain data. We encourage
submissions in, but not limited to, the following areas:

·         Mining of *in situ* hybridization and microarray gene expression
data

·         Mining of brain connectivity and circuitry data

·         Mining of structural and functional MRI data

·         Mining of EEG and related data

·         Mining of temporal developing brain data

·         Mining of spatial neuroimaging data

·         Integrative mining of multi-modality brain data

·         Mining of diseased brain data, such as Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson's disease, and schizophrenia

·         Segmentation and registration of neuroimaging data



*Important Dates:*



Submission date: January 12, 2015
Author notification date: January 30, 2015
Camera-ready copy date: February 9, 2015
Delivery notes to SDM: Feb 16, 2015
