Abstract
It is an interdisciplinary field at the interface of neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science for understanding the structure of the brain, functions of the brain, and mechanisms of the brain. In this report, a few of the primary principles and methods used in brain informatics, its technologies, and applications with a focus on deciphering complex human brain activity, cognition, and behavior are briefly introduced through advanced data analytics, machine learning, and computational modeling. The promising outcomes of these efforts include understanding disorders of the human brain, enhancing cognitive functions, and developing innovative brain–computer interfaces.
Brain informatics attempts to reformulate knowledge on how the brain works, how cognition is processed, and how it manifests intelligence by incorporating elements of neuro-informatics, cognitive informatics, and web intelligence. Highquality acquisition of brain data is one of the critical features of brain informatics, for example, through neuroimaging technologies such as fMRI, EEG, MEG, and advanced optical ...
