BrainModes Conference 2023

November 29 - December 1, 2023
Erika-Haus, UKE Campus, Building W29
Martinistraße 52, 20246 Hamburg, Germany

After registering, you will receive a confirmation e-mail containing login details and information on how to join the webinar. Please note that interactivity will be limited in the Zoom webinar, and that participation in the discussion will be possible only by using the chat function in the Zoom.

BrainModes (www.brainmodes.org) is an annual international meeting focusing on innovative means of understanding complex brain activity and multimodal neuroscience data sets. The objective of these meetings is to foster informal discussion of brain modeling and multivariate data analysis (EEG, MEG, fMRI, etc). The central motif is that of "modes" – how complex brain activity is organized around low dimensional manifolds.

The BrainModes conference 2023 is organized by Petra Ritter, Claus Hilgetag and Andreas K. Engel, and it is a joint event with the European School of Network Neuroscience (euSNN; www.eusnn.eu). The theme of this year’s conference is „Multiscale network dynamics: analysis, modeling, modulation“. Emphasis in the program will be on the following topics: network dynamics and coupling modes; modulation/neurostimulation; multiscale modeling; connectivity and structure; network diseases.

Speakers who have already confirmed their participation are: Richard Betzel (Bloomington), Maurizio Corbetta (Padua), Tobias Donner (Hamburg), Pascal Fries (Frankfurt/Main), Rainer Goebel (Maastricht), Ileana Hanganu-Opatz (Hamburg), Randolph Helfrich (Tübingen), Moritz Helmstaedter (Frankfurt/Main), Risto Ilmoniemi (Aalto), Viktor Jirsa (Marseille), Vladimir Litvak (London), Randy McIntosh (Vancouver), Stefano Panzeri (Hamburg), Petra Ritter (Berlin), Pieter Roelfsema (Amsterdam), Bettina Schwab (Twente), Ana Solodkin (Dallas), Valerie Sydnor (Philadelphia), Marieke van Vugt (Groningen), Paul Verschure (Nijmegen), Mark Woolrich (Oxford).
