Overview
Biological Cybernetics is a journal dedicated to theoretical and application-oriented investigations of information processing and control in organisms.
- Fosters the search for general principles of communication and regulation in biological systems through detailed studies.
- Topics range from subcellular processes to ecological phenomena, with a focus on sensory, motor, and cognitive neural systems.
- Approaches include mathematical modelling, computational, theoretical, or engineering studies with relevance for understanding cybernetic principles in biology.
- Promotes communication between the life sciences as well as the engineering and theoretical disciplines.
