14^th International Workshop on Brain Connectivity

The international Workshop on Brain Connectivity (WBC), to be held at the University of California San Diego (June 10-12, 2015), will focus for the first time primarily on the role of electrophysiological data in understanding the fine temporal scale underlying brain network dynamics as well as the mechanisms by which emergent dynamics originate from multi-scale interactions between brain areas, brain activity frequencies and timescales, and between brain activity and behavior. This focus reflects the growing realization that to understand how the brain supports behavior and experience requires imaging of distributed brain activity with fine temporal resolution.

The first day of the Workshop will be dedicated to lectures, followed by two days of half-day workshop sessions. The WBC will bring together leading investigators in the fields of neuroimaging, cognitive and computational neuroscience to discuss current and forthcoming challenges for brain connectivity research based on electrophysiological data. Speakers include Klaas Stephen (Zurich), Carsten Wolters (Muenster), Eugene Izhekevich (San Diego), Stephan Kiebel (Leipzig), Matias Palva (Helsinki), Alain Destexhe (France), Charles Schroeder (Columbia U), Ryan Canolty (U Houston), Stefan Haufe (New York), M. Muthuram (Germany), Kathleen Poston (Stanford) and others. 

Its goals are to stimulate research students and scientists from diverse backgrounds for research in topics related to electrophysiology and brain connectivity, to promote larger international collaborations in these fields, and to inform the neuroscience community about emerging methods, and comprehensive theory and models for brain connectivity analysis, in particular from electrophysiological recordings.
