Welcome to ACAIN 2021, the International Symposium on Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience. Grasmere, nestled within the most idyllic landscapes of England, is a village and tourist destination in Cumbria, in the center of the Lake District, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Grasmere takes its name from the adjacent lake. It has associations with the Lake Poets, one of whom, William Wordsworth, lived in Grasmere for 14 years and called it as “the loveliest spot that man hath ever found”.
ACAIN 2021 will take place in the Wordsworth Hotel & SPA in Grasmere – Lake District, England. Having played host to European royalty, American presidents and a string of celebrities, the Wordsworth Hotel has, throughout its long history, been well known for its warmth and hospitality. And it’s this truly special atmosphere that continues to capture the hearts of guests today. A country house hotel with a home from home ambience, award-winning dining and a luxurious organic spa, the perfect ingredients for an indulgent stay in the majestic Lake District.
Please enjoy the leading artificial intelligence and neuroscience gathering in the world, while visiting English traditions, the Lake District, and more.
The ACAIN 2021 is aimed at AI experts, neuroscientists and both at AI experts with interests in Neuroscience and at neuroscientists with an interest in AI. ACAIN 2021 will be a special opportunity to hear about cutting-edge research by leading scientists in AI and Neuroscience.
The two days of keynote talks and oral presentations (the Symposium, October 7-8) will be preceded by lectures of leading scientists (the Course, October 5-6).
Moreover, ACAIN 2021 accepts rigorous research that promotes and fosters multidisciplinary interactions between artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
With the current exploding interest in AI and Neuroscience, the ACAIN Symposium will provide an exciting forum to present and hear about cutting-edge research in AI and Neuroscience.
We invite the submission of technical papers for the main technical track of the conference. Submissions should be significant and original on all aspects of Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience. We especially encourage papers on interdisciplinary applications of AI and Neuroscience.
The International Symposium Proceedings will be published by Springer. Papers will appear in a volume of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS).

Types of Submissions
When submitting a paper to ACAIN 2021, authors are required to select one of the following four types of papers:
- long paper: original novel and unpublished work (max. 15 pages, including References, in Springer LNCS format);
- short paper: an extended abstract of novel work (max. 5 pages, including References, in Springer LNCS format);
- work for oral presentation only (no page restriction; any format). For example, work already published elsewhere, which is relevant and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference;
- abstract for poster presentation only (max 2 pages; any format). The poster format for the presentation is A0 (118.9 cm high and 84.1 cm wide, respectively 46.8 x 33.1 inch). For research work which is relevant and which may solicit fruitful discussion at the conference.
We expect high-quality papers in terms of their scientific contribution, rigor, correctness, quality of presentation and reproducibility of experiments.
Accepted papers must contain significant novel results. Results can be either theoretical or empirical. Results will be judged on the degree to which they have been objectively established and/or their potential for scientific and technological impact.
