About the Journal
The JOANA: Journal of Artificial and Natural Acts is a scholarly publication exploring the intersection of artificial systems and natural phenomena. It emphasizes multidisciplinary research in fields such as artificial intelligence, robotics, cognitive science, and biomimetics and their integration with biology, neuroscience, and environmental sciences.
The journal provides a platform for researchers to present theoretical insights, innovative methodologies, and experimental studies that bridge artificial constructs and natural processes. It fosters dialogue on machine learning inspired by neural mechanisms, the ethical implications of AI in natural systems, and the development of artificial systems that emulate or interact with nature.
Key areas of focus include:
- Theoretical and computational models of artificial and natural systems.
- The design and application of biomimetic and biohybrid technologies.
- Cognitive architectures and their parallels with human and animal cognition.
- Ecological applications of artificial intelligence and robotics.
- Philosophical and ethical discussions about the convergence of artificial and natural domains.
The journal appeals to a wide audience, including scientists, engineers, ethicists, and philosophers, promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration and innovation.
