BIH'14 is a part of the 2014 Web Intelligence Congress (WIC'14).

The series of Brain Informatics conferences was started in China,
in 2006, with the International Workshop on Web Intelligence
meets Brain Informatics (WImBI'06). The next events have been
held in China, Canada and Japan. Since 2012 the conference topics
have been extended with major elements of Health Informatics in
order to investigate some common challenges in both areas. In
2014, this series of events will visit Europe for the first time.

BIH'14 TOPICS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

- Foundations of Brain Understanding
- Brain-Inspired Problem Solving
- Brain & Health Data Management
- Biomedical Decision Support
- Brain & Health Data Analytics
- Healthcare Systems
- Biomedical Technologies
- Applications of Brain & Health Informatics

*** About WIC'14 ***

The 2014 Web Intelligence Congress (WIC'14) includes four
international conferences related to intelligent informatics:

- IEEE/WIC/ACM Web Intelligence 2014 (WI'14)
- IEEE/WIC/ACM Intelligent Agent Technology 2014 (IAT'14)
- Active Media Technology 2014 (AMT'14)
- Brain Informatics & Heath 2014 (BIH'14)

They are co-located in order to bring together researchers and
practitioners from diverse fields with the purpose of exploring
the fundamental roles, interactions and practical impacts of
Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Information Technology.

*** About the Venue ***

The conference will be held in August - the best Summer period
to visit Warsaw and Poland. Lectures will take place in Central
Campus of the University of Warsaw, in the Old Library building
converted to a modern conference center. The campus is located
in downtown Warsaw, close to the Old Town and Vistula River.
