Preface

All the chapters in this volume are invited contributions following a successful international workshop, namely, The First WICI International Workshop on Web Intelligence meets Brain Informatics (WImBI 2006) held in Beijing, China, December 15–16, 2006. The WICI (International WIC Institute, www.iwici.org/) is an international open educational research organization of the Web Intelligence Consortium (WIC, www.wi-consortium.org/). The institute is affiliated with Beijing University of Technology (BJUT). The workshop explores a new perspective of Web Intelligence (WI) research from the viewpoint of Brain Informatics (BI). BI is a new interdisciplinary field studying human information processing mechanisms from both macro and micro points of vie
