The International Journal of Neural Systems is a monthly rigorously peer-reviewed transdisciplinary journal which covers information processing in natural and artificial neural systems. Subjects of special interests are machine learning, computational neuroscience and neurology, and innovative and high-impact articles that cross multiple fields including neurosciences and computer science and engineering. Authors are strongly encouraged to review recent issues of the journal before submission.The journal presents a fresh, undogmatic attitude towards this multi-disciplinary field, aiming to be a forum for novel ideas and improved understanding of collective and cooperative phenomena in systems with computational capabilities.
