Understanding the Brain Function and Emotions: 8th International Work-conference on the Interplay Between Natural and Artificial Computation, Iwinac 2019, Almería, Spain, June 3-7, 2019, Proceeding

The two volume set LNCS 11486 and 11487 constitutes the proceedings of the International Work-Conference on the Interplay Between Natural and Artificial Computation, IWINAC 2019, held in Almería, Spain,, in June 2019. The total of 103 contributions was carefully reviewed and selected from 190 submissions during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are organized in two volumes, one on understanding the brain function and emotions, addressing topics such as new tools for analyzing neural data, or detection emotional states, or interfacing with physical systems. The second volume deals with bioinspired systems and biomedical applications to machine learning and contains papers related bioinspired programming strategies and all the contributions oriented to the computational solutions  to engineering problems in different applications domains, as biomedical systems, or big data solutions.
