International Workshop on Synchronization and
Multiscale Complex Dynamics in the Brain
Dresden, November 02 - 06, 2009
Scientific Coordinators:
Jordi García Ojalvo (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Terrassa, Spain)
Claudio Mirasso (Instituto de Fisica Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos,
Palma de Mallorca, Spain)
Gordon Pipa (Max-Planck-Institut für Hirnforschung, Frankfurt/Main, Germany)
Organisation:
Mandy Lochar (MPIPKS Dresden, Germany)
Progress in understanding the global organization of brain functions has
remained elusive up to now. Indeed, normal operation of the brain is
characterized by complex dynamics at multiple temporal and spatial
scales. Although different experimental techniques exist (microelectrode
recordings, EEG, MEG, and fMRI, among others), a simultaneous monitoring of the
different scales is still scarce. Interpretation of the data coming from such
experiments requires a thorough understanding of how different scales integrate
in a complex dynamical system. Within this context, the purpose of this
workshop is to bring together experimental neuroscientists and physicists
experienced in the study of multiscale processes, in order to help bridge the
gap currently existing between theoretical and experimental approaches.
