《連接科學(xué)》是一本世界領(lǐng)先的跨學(xué)科期刊，致力于探索精神分析和綜合科學(xué)的融合，包括心理學(xué)、神經(jīng)科學(xué)、哲學(xué)、語言學(xué)、認(rèn)知科學(xué)、計(jì)算建模、人工智能、模擬和并行計(jì)算以及機(jī)器人學(xué)。一個(gè)強(qiáng)烈的關(guān)注點(diǎn)是對(duì)包括人類在內(nèi)的生活系統(tǒng)及其社會(huì)的模擬，以及開發(fā)新型合成生命形式，如仿生機(jī)器人。來自連接論、概率論、動(dòng)力學(xué)或進(jìn)化方法的文章，以及探索分布式自適應(yīng)計(jì)算或緊急順序的文章，都是特別相關(guān)的。該期刊還鼓勵(lì)提交系統(tǒng)級(jí)計(jì)算神經(jīng)科學(xué)的研究報(bào)告，試圖理解類大腦模型系統(tǒng)中的感覺運(yùn)動(dòng)整合、感知、認(rèn)知或意識(shí)。采用經(jīng)驗(yàn)方法或探索社會(huì)、理論或哲學(xué)問題的手稿將在與綜合方法和/或其社會(huì)影響有明確關(guān)聯(lián)的地方予以考慮。歡迎評(píng)論、路線圖或透視論文；如果考慮提交這種性質(zhì)的文章，建議作者咨詢總編輯。鼓勵(lì)對(duì)前沿領(lǐng)域的特殊問題提出建議，并應(yīng)與主編討論。所有提交的手稿都要經(jīng)過總編輯的初步評(píng)估，如果認(rèn)為適合進(jìn)一步考慮，還要經(jīng)過獨(dú)立的匿名專家評(píng)審。所有同行評(píng)審都是雙盲的，通過學(xué)術(shù)手稿在線提交。有關(guān)提交的問題可以聯(lián)系總編輯，總編輯的決定是最終的。認(rèn)知科學(xué)家、神經(jīng)網(wǎng)絡(luò)研究者、心理學(xué)家和哲學(xué)家對(duì)認(rèn)知、適應(yīng)和行為的理論和計(jì)算模型感興趣。本雜志所有發(fā)表的研究文章都經(jīng)過了嚴(yán)格的同行評(píng)審，通過最初的編輯篩選和獨(dú)立專家評(píng)審的匿名評(píng)審。

Connection Science is a world-leading inter-disciplinary journal dedicated to exploring the convergence of the analytic and synthetic sciences of mind including psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, computational modelling, artificial intelligence, analog and parallel computing, and robotics. A strong focus is on the simulation of living systems and their societies, including humans, and on the development of novel forms of synthetic life such as biomimetic robots. Articles arising from connectionist, probabilistic, dynamical, or evolutionary approaches, and that explore distributed adaptive computation or emergent order, are particularly relevant. The journal also encourages submission of research in systems-level computational neuroscience that seeks to understand sensorimotor integration, perception, cognition, or awareness in brain-like model systems. Manuscripts that employ empirical methodologies or that explore social, theoretical or philosophical issues will be considered where there is a clear relevance to the synthetic approach and/or its societal impacts. Review, road-mapping, or perspective papers are welcome; authors are advised to consult the Editor-in-Chief if considering a submission of this nature. Proposals for special issues in cutting-edge areas are encouraged, and should be discussed with the Editor-in-Chief. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor-in-Chief, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is double blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts. Queries regarding submissions can be made by contacting the Editor-in-Chief, whose decision is final.Cognitive scientists, neural network researchers, psychologists and philosophers interested in theories and computational models of cognition, adaptation and behavior. All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
