Submissions Guidelines<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

BRAINS 2025 solicits original, unpublished work not currently under review by other conferences or journals and has not been previously published. All submissions should be written in English following the Two-Column IEEE Conference Format with a maximum of eight (8) pages (Full Papers), four (4) pages (Short Papers and work in progress), or two (2) pages (Poster Papers). These page limits include all text and figures but exclude references and appendices. For Full Papers, the total length including references and appendices must not exceed ten (10) pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Papers should be submitted through EDAS at: https:\/\/edas.info\/N33559<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Double-Blind Review<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All submissions must be anonymous. We follow a relaxed double-blind peer review process: authors are allowed to share their work on platforms such as arXiv and present it publicly. However, authors should not mention their own name or affiliation in the submission, or include obvious references that reveal their identity. A reviewer who has not previously encountered the work should be able to read the submission without learning the authors’ identities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your work is not yet available online (e.g., on arXiv), we recommend waiting until after the notification of acceptance before posting it publicly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any questions regarding the double-blind policy, please contact the general co-chairs of BRAINS 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Student Track<\/mark><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We encourage the submission of student papers (i.e., all authors of the paper must be MSc or PhD students) on the topics mentioned in the CFP. Student papers have to be clearly stated on the first page. The papers should follow the same guidelines as short papers (max 4 pages) and be submitted on the dedicated track for student papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
