Topic: brain functions

Predictive modeling and dimensionality reduction of functional neuroimaging data have provided rich information about the representations and functional architectures of the human brain. While these approaches have been effective in many cases, we will discuss how neglecting the internal dynamics of the brain (e.g., spontaneous activity, global dynamics, effective connectivity) and its underlying computational principles may hinder our progress in understanding and modeling brain functions. By reexamining evidence from our previous and ongoing work, we will propose new hypotheses and direction

Traditionally, the term dynamics means changes in a system evolving over time. However, in the brain action potentials propagate along axons to induce postsynaptic currents with different delays at many sites simultaneously. This fundamental computational mechanism evolves spatially to engage the neuron populations involved in brain functions. To identify and understand the spatial processing in brains, this workshop will focus on the spatial principles of brain dynamics that determine how action potentials and membrane currents propagate in the networks of neurons that brains are made of. We
