該雜志為生物信息處理的實驗理論和應用方向提供了一個跨學科的媒體，包括感覺運動、認知和生態現象。課題包括:生物系統的實驗研究，包括與理解生物信息處理、人工實現生物信息處理和自組織原理相關的定量建模、計算技術或理論研究。在系統性能和功能的主要方面下，重點放在生命科學和技術/理論學科之間的交流。不涉及生物信息處理的純理論概念和數據分析已經超出了生物控制論的目的和范圍。也不鼓勵在很大程度上作出推測性的貢獻以及提出初步和非結論性的結果。

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.
