Abstract：Brain science is a recognized frontier science and technology. It is now of extensive and profound content. Multiple branch disciplines have been setup, according to the spatial scale of the relevant content involved such as cellular neurobiology or the main tools adopted in study such as computational neuroscience. This paper pointed out that information science driven brain research is forming a new discipline——Brainformatics as a very vigor and vitality subject, with "brain information acquisition", "brain information decoding" and "brain information applications" as the main contents. The paper illustrates some concrete contents of the three aspects. Finally the chances and challenges are discussed.
