Abstract

Brain science is a well-recognized frontier science with extensive and profound contents. For the past hundreds years, biological experimental studies are the main ways to understand the brain, but now, neuro-data and computing have grown up to be almost an equivalent important tool for uncovering the brain and brain disorders. It means that a fuse of “Brain” and “Informatics”, Brainformatics, is becoming an area of science. In this paper, we take the brain research driven by information science as a new discipline – BraInFormatics – with “brain information acquisition”, “Brain information decoding” and “brain information applications” as the main contents, and meso-scale problems are the main space waiting for this discipline. This paper explains the concept, scope and challenges with some examples, such as EEG zero-reference technique, brainwave music etc. developed in our lab.
