Call For Papers

Neural Networks is an academic journal published by Elsevier. (ISSN 0893-6080, impact factor 7.2, CCF B).

Aims & Scope The journal Neural Networks provides a forum for developing and nurturing an international community of scholars and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of neural networks, including deep learning and related approaches to artificial intelligence and machine learning. Neural Networks welcomes submissions that contribute to the full range of neural networks research, from cognitive modeling and computational neuroscience, through deep learning algorithms and mathematical analyses, to engineering and technological applications of systems that significantly use neural network concepts and learning techniques. This uniquely broad range facilitates the cross-fertilization of ideas between biological and technological studies, and helps to foster the development of the interdisciplinary community that is interested in biologically-inspired artificial intelligence. Accordingly, the Neural Networks editorial board represents experts in fields including psychology, neurobiology, computer science, engineering, mathematics, and physics. On the other hand, neural networks should be central to submissions. The journal publishes articles, letters, and reviews/tutorials, as well as letters to the editor, editorials, and current events. Articles are published in one of five sections: learning systems, cognitive science, neuroscience, mathematical and computational analysis, engineering and applications. Neural Networks is the archival journal of three of the oldest and most prominent neural network societies: the International Neural Network Society (INNS), the Asia-Pacific Neural Network Society (APNNS), and the Japanese Neural Network Society (JNNS). A subscription to the journal is included with membership in each of these societies.

Special Issues

Special Issue on Neural Networks for Human-Centric Perception, Affect, and Experience Submission Date: 2026-12-01 Recent advances in neural networks have significantly improved machine perception and understanding of complex human-centered signals such as speech, images, videos, and multimodal behavioral data. However, many intelligent systems still struggle to effectively model the full chain of human perception, affect, and subjective experience, which plays a fundamental role in real-world human-AI interaction. Understanding how humans perceive signals, how these perceptions influence emotional responses, and how both contribute to overall user experience remains an important interdisciplinary challenge. This Special Issue aims to bring together recent progress in neural network-based approaches for modeling human-centric perception, affect, and experience across multiple modalities. The issue will focus on computational models that learn from human behavioral signals and multimedia data to better capture perceptual quality, emotional states, and subjective experiences in real-world environments. By integrating perspectives from multimedia signal processing, affective computing, and human-centered AI, this Special Issue aims to advance neural network methodologies that more effectively model and understand human perception, emotions, and experiences, ultimately enabling more robust, adaptive, and human-aware intelligent systems.
