Quantify biological shape through a reproducible three-dimensional morphometrics workflow in 3D Slicer and R. Participants connect image acquisition and resolution to segmentation and cleaning, collect landmarks and semilandmarks, and derive shape variables using Procrustes alignment and sliding procedures. Statistical exercises use principal components and regression to interpret size and shape variation; visualisations include deformations, morphings and heatmaps. Live sessions: 9–13 November, 13:00–18:00 daily, Europe/Madrid (CET, UTC+01:00). Total 30 hours: 25 live plus five independent.

Deep generative networks as a computational approach for global non-linear control modeling in the nematode C. elegans

A long-standing premise in theoretical neuroscience holds that the complex interactions between neurons or, at a different systems level, between networks in the nervous system can be expressed in terms of an underlying system of nonlinear dynamics. A classical approach has been dynamical systems theory, whereby biophysical processes in the brain can be naturally formalized in terms of differential equations (ODEs) that may be capable of offering an explicit and interpretable account of how different biochemical and physiological processes in the brain evolve to produce the complex repertoire
