Launch of Cognitive Computing and Behavioural Informatics — A New Interdisciplinary Journal

2026-01-05

We are delighted to announce the launch of Cognitive Computing and Behavioural Informatics, a pioneering scholarly journal dedicated to the integration of artificial intelligence with cognitive and behavioural sciences.

Core Philosophy

At the heart of this journal lies the conviction that the most profound advances in intelligent systems will emerge from a deep synergy between computational models and the understanding of human cognition, emotion, and behaviour. We aim to dissolve traditional boundaries, creating a unified platform where algorithm innovation meets psychological, neuroscientific, and behavioural insights.

Mission & Purpose

As a new interdisciplinary forum, our mission is to:

  1. Foster Convergence: Actively promote research that bridges AI—including machine learning, affective computing, and neuro-inspired architectures—with theories and findings from cognitive science, psychology, and behavioural studies.
  2. Support Applied Innovation: Serve the rapidly growing applications of this synthesis in critical areas such as Educational Technology (EdTech), mental health, human-computer interaction (UX/Interaction Design), marketing analytics, and social decision-support systems.
  3. Provide Unique Visibility: Offer a dedicated, high-impact venue for interdisciplinary work that might otherwise fall between established fields, ensuring such research gains the recognition and audience it deserves.

Scope & Topics

The journal invites contributions on, but not limited to:

  • Computational models of human cognition, reasoning, and decision-making processes.
  • Affective computing and AI-based emotion recognition.
  • Behaviour prediction, attention modelling, and cognitive-behavioural analytics.
  • Neuro-inspired learning systems and biologically informed computational models.
  • Behavioural analytics in digital and interactive environments.
  • Cognitive load estimation and brain-computer integration methods.
  • Psychology-informed AI architectures and human behaviour modelling.
  • Applications in education, healthcare, marketing, finance, and social systems.

Cognitive Computing and Behavioural Informatics is born from the need for a cohesive scholarly community at this exciting intersection. We invite researchers, practitioners, and innovators to join us in shaping this journey, submitting their groundbreaking work, and contributing to a deeper understanding of both machine and human intelligence.

Join us in defining the future of intelligent, human-aware systems.
