NeuroConverse https://neuroconverse.org/index.php/journal <p>NeuroConverse is a contemporary online journal. As a digital publication we will be able to offer space for audio and video subject matter, even interactive content, as well as the written word, though we also wish to remain close to traditional forms of journal writing, or variations on those themes.To uphold our values of inclusivity, diversity, and respect, we model ourselves as an online symposium where everybody’s voice may be heard – but we need these voices to be listened to, and to be taken seriously. So behind it all is an academic team, a team that values rigour and research. And we hope you do too.</p> en-US mb@neuroconverse.org (Martin Bloomfield) tech@neuroconverse.org (Florian Herfurth (Tech. Dir.))

In our daily lives, we use digital technologies that are often enriched with artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms, which are supposed to optimise our lives. Although the idea of a computer-based intelligence that can simulate our human cognitive abilities is a noble goal, one that the great British mathematician and computer scientist Alan Turing (Turing, 1 1950) already envisaged, we see current AI-based algorithms more as a mirror of our imperfect world, which is characterised by prejudice, injustice, inequality and unfairness. This article highlights inequalities against an often overlooked intersectional group in our society – neurominorities – that are increasingly exacerbated by implemented biases in AI systems, which we call neuronormative bias.</p> Claudia Lemke , Martin Bloomfield, Florian N.
