About this Research Topic
Given the success of the first edition of the Research Topic, Machine Learning and Applied Neuroscience, Volume I and the continuing advances in the field, we are pleased to announce this second volume.
The advent of the IV Industrial Revolution is marked by the rise of several technologies such as Computational Intelligence, Pervasive Computing / Internet of Things, and Biotechnology. Evolutionary Computing and Deep Learning allow the Machine Learning area to progress more and more, allowing the construction of more and more precise specialist systems with greater capacity for learning and generalization. These advances, when applied to the Neurosciences, have opened up more possibilities for understanding the functioning of the nervous system and the dynamics of nervous diseases
The advances in Computational Intelligence, especially the new computational methods, algorithms and architectures, allow complex tasks to be carried out, such as: the construction of methods of diagnosis and treatment customized for diseases of the nervous system; the construction of intelligent prostheses and more precise brain-machine interfaces; the identification of emotions and the diagnosis of mental disorders through the automated analysis of signals of various kinds, and other applications.
We would like to acknowledge the contributions of Dr Sérgio Galdino, Federal University of Pernambuco, Brazil; Dr Fernando Sales, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - UFPE, Brazil; Dr Meuse Nogueira Júnior, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - UFPE, Brazil, Dr Sidney Lima, Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - UFPE, Brazil; Dr Bodhisattva Dash, Silicon Institute of Technology, Bhubaneswar, India and Dr Giselle Machado Magalhães Moreno, Brazil Universidade de São Paulo – USP, Brazil, who helped shape the theme and refine the focus of this Research Topic.
