The journal provides an interdisciplinary medium for the experimental theoretical and application-oriented aspects of information processing in organisms including sensory motor cognitive and ecological phenomena. Topics are: experimental studies of biological systems including quantitative modelling computational technical or theoretical studies with relevance for understanding biological information processing artificial implementation of biological information processing and self-organizing principles. Under the main aspects of performance and function of systems emphasis is laid on communication between life sciences and technical/theoretical disciplines. Purely theoretical concepts and data analysis without reference to information processing in organisms are outside the aims and scope of Biological Cybernetics . Largely speculative contribution as well as presentations of preliminary and inconclusive results are also discouraged.
