Workshop Date & Location: September 15th, 2025 - Sapienza Univeristy of Rome, Rome (Italy)
We invite original, interdisciplinary research submissions at the intersection of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI). This workshop aims to foster dialogue on neuro-inspired AI, brain-inspired algorithms, and AI-driven approaches in neuroscience. Submissions should address one or more of the following core themes:
Explainable AI in Neuroscience: Neuro-symbolic models, neural activity mapping, brain-aligned interpretability.
Self-Supervised and Active Inference Systems: Predictive coding and biologically inspired learning methods.
Neuro-Inspired Reasoning and Decision-Making: Distributed representations and cognitive architectures.
Cognitive Functions in AI: Benchmarks for creativity, language, and problem-solving.
AI for Neuroscience: Neural decoding, brain stimulation, and AI-driven biomarker discovery.
There are two tracks for submission to the workshop. Submissions to both tracks will be featured during the workshop's poster session, and a subset of all submissions will be selected for contributed talks.
Submissions should be in the ICIAP format and are limited to 12 pages including references. Please download the ICIAP 2025 Author Kit for detailed formatting instructions. Submission in accepted papers in this will be included in the official ICIAP proceedings. This track is appropriate for self-contained research papers with a high degree of development.
Extended abstract submissions should be in the ICIAP format and are limited to 6 pages including references. Please download the ICIAP 2025 Author Kit for detailed formatting instructions. This track welcomes submissions beyond traditional research papers, including early-stage results, insightful negative findings, opinion pieces, and novel datasets. Moreover, we welcome papers published at peer-reviewed venues and cover topics related to the workshop. ICIAP 2025 paper style is not required. Works submitted to this track will not be included in the ICIAP proceedings, providing an opportunity to share preliminary work or important milestones to foster discussion in the research community.
Reviews are double-blind and conducted through CMT. All submissions will receive a minimum of two reviews. The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.
