Book excerpt: This second volume of "Brain-Inspired IT Series" includes five invited papers and 59 selected technical papers from the Second International Symposium "BrainIT 2005" which was held on in Kitakyushu, Japan, on October 7-9, 2005. The First International Symposium BrainIT 2004 was a great success, and provided the participants with good opportunities to exchange valuable information and various ideas from multidisciplinary research areas. A survey was made of the current state-of-the-art and the possibility to establish new research fields in the Brain-Inspired Information Technology was explored. In this second volume, it can be found that the seeds of BrainIT 2004 are growing and about to bloom as collaboration reaches among a wide variety of areas from biology to robotics. In the symposium BrainIT 2005, special sessions on "Decision and Behavioral Choice Organized by Natural and Artificial Brains" were provided besides technical sessions in a wide range of fields from Brain Science to Information Technology as well as the previous symposium. The first five invited papers are contributed by outstanding researchers in the area, and were presented in special sessions to discuss how the brain recognizes outer and inner worlds and organizes behavior expression, decision making and behavioral selection. The technical papers cover vision and sensory systems, cognition and languages, learning and memory, behavior and emotion, motor controls, dynamics, neural computation, neural networks, and brain-inspired intelligent machines, etc. It is hoped that this Brain-Inspired IT series will be a key milestone for researchers and students to pioneer the new field "Brain-Inspired Information Technology".
