The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts in computational neuroscience, neuroscience methodology and experimental neuroscience with a special interest in understanding the tripartite relationship between anatomical connectivity, brain dynamics and cogntive function.

Past years’ Brain Connectivity Workshops held in Dusseldorf, Cambridge, Havana, Boca Raton, Sendai and Barcelona have been tremendously successful at promoting discussion and debate regarding the nature of “brain connectivity”, its theoretical basis, and its empirical measurement.

In 2008, the Brain Connectivity Workshop 2008 will be hosted by Brain Sciences, UNSW, Sydney. The central theme of this year’s meetings is on brain dynamics in spatially extended neural systems, their structural underpinnings and their functional role in cognition. Hence we move from a session on Advances in Structural Connectivity, through Structure-to-Dynamics, and Dynamics-to-Function; to Dynamics and Computation. The breadth of these themes is designed to engage scientists of all backgrounds in discussions on innovative and ongoing neuroresearch endeavors.

Speakers have been invited to talk for about 15 minutes and then lead a discussion for the remaining 30 minutes of a 45 minute session. The total number of participants will be limited to 100. As in previous years, speakers are challenged to limit their presentations to no more than three slides in order to stimulate discussion and debate.

At the end of each day, three invited panelists will revisit discussion that arose during the scheduled sessions, with the goal of further highlighting contentious and/or cutting edge developments in the field.

We look forward to seeing you this year!
