[Eeglablist] International Workshop on Synchronization and Multiscale Complex Dynamics in the Brain, Dresden, November 02 - 06, 2009

[Dr. Gordon Pipa]

International Workshop on Synchronization and Multiscale Complex Dynamics in
the Brain

Dresden, November 02 - 06, 2009
http://www.mpipks-dresden.mpg.de/~bsync09/announce.html


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)


Abstarct:
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.
