From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness (CORTICON)
In person Symposium
Institut Catholique de Paris, Paris, France
11-13 April 2022
The Symposium aims at bringing together
neuroscientists from the Human Brain Project and invited
guests to present their latest achievements in understanding
cortical circuits at various scales, including the emergence
of consciousness. The involvement of neuronal and neuroglial
cells in brain functioning, memory, learning, cognition and
consciousness in health and disease will be discussed from the
experimental and theoretical perspective.
The Symposium will also address neuroethics
and neurophilosophy with links to society in a public key
note, followed by a panel discussion by experts. Talks will be
recorded and later put online.
It will also offer a hands-on session on The Virtual Brain, the principal full brain network simulator in EBRAINS for constructing and simulating personalised brain models.
We hope to see many of you in Paris at the
Institut Catholique de Paris, close to Jardin du Luxembourg,
in April 2022.
