《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)、認知科學(xué)、計算建模、人工智能、模擬和并行計算以及機器人學(xué)。一個強烈的關(guān)注點是對包括人類在內(nèi)的生活系統(tǒng)及其社會的模擬，以及開發(fā)新型合成生命形式，如仿生機器人。來自連接論、概率論、動力學(xué)或進化方法的文章，以及探索分布式自適應(yīng)計算或緊急順序的文章，都是特別相關(guān)的。該期刊還鼓勵提交系統(tǒng)級計算神經(jīng)科學(xué)的研究報告，試圖理解類大腦模型系統(tǒng)中的感覺運動整合、感知、認知或意識。采用經(jīng)驗方法或探索社會、理論或哲學(xué)問題的手稿將在與綜合方法和/或其社會影響有明確關(guān)聯(lián)的地方予以考慮。歡迎評論、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。鼓勵對前沿領(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)過總編輯的初步評估，如果認為適合進一步考慮，還要經(jīng)過獨立的匿名專家評審。所有同行評審都是雙盲的，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)家對認知、適應(yīng)和行為的理論和計算模型感興趣。本雜志所有發(fā)表的研究文章都經(jīng)過了嚴格的同行評審，通過最初的編輯篩選和獨立專家評審的匿名評審。

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.
