1. Topic and Goals
This workshop aims to bring together international researchers from the cognitive neuroscience and engineering
communities for biologically-inspired models and system implementations with human-like intelligent functions.
Although artificial neural networks are based on information processing mechanisms in our brain, there still exists big
gap between the biological neural networks and artificial neural networks. The more intelligence we would like to
incorporate into artificial intelligent systems, the more biologically-inspired models and hardware are required.
Fortunately the cognitive neuroscience has been developed enormously during the last decade, and engineers now
have more to learn from the science.
In this workshop we will discuss what engineers want to learn from the science and how the scientists may be able
to provide the knowledge. Then, mathematical models will be presented with more biological plausibility. The
hardware and system implementation will also be reported with the performance comparison with conventional
methods for real-world complex applications. A panel will be organized for the future research directions at the end.
This workshop will promote synergetic interaction among cognitive neuroscientists, neural networks and robotics
engineers, and result in more biologically-plausible mathematical models and hardware systems with more human-
like intelligent performance in real-world applications.
Topics include, but are not limited to,
• Models of auditory pathway
• Models of visual pathway
• Models of cognition, learning, and inference
• Models of attention, emotion, and consciousness
• Models of autonomous behavior
• Hardware implementation of bio-inspired models
• Engineering applications of bio-inspired models

3. Intended Audience
The workshop is aimed to be a high communicative forum for researchers from the cognitive neuroscience, artificial
neural networks, and robotics communities.
Workshop attendance will be limited to 30 pre-registered participants.
The presentation papers will be solicited from the cognitive neuroscience, neural networks, and robotics communities.
The members of the International Advisory Board and Program Committee, except Drs. Indiveri and Roy, had already
agreed to submit their papers for the presentation. However, the submitted papers will be fully refereed by the Program
Committee and accepted based on the quality of the papers.
4. Format
The workshop will go on one full day with 2 invited talks, 10 contributed oral presentations, and one panel discussion.
To encourage exchange of ideas about 15 minutes will be allocated for discussion at the end of each invited and oral
presentations. The balance between the science and engineering will be made for the speakers and panelists.
5. Publicity
The contributed papers will be solicited from the cognitive neuroscience, neural networks, and robotics communities
though public list servers. Also, a dedicated homepage (www.bimh2005.org,
http://faculty.uwb.edu/ijcnn05/Workshops/bimh.html) will be maintained, and several crosslinks will be made with
popular websites. Also, several top researchers will be cordially invited through personal e-mails.
The prospective authors are invited to submit one page summary using electronic submission via the workshop web
site. Also, after acceptance, the presentation materials will be collected and made available to the attendees as a
booklet.
The extended version of the presented papers will be published as a special issue of the new online/offline journal,
Neural Information Processing – Letters and Reviews (www.nip-lr.info), of which the Editor-in-Chief is the Workshop
Chair..
