School on Brain Dynamics

This school examines how neural dynamics support computation and memory, from individual neurons to large circuits, and how those mechanisms fail in brain disorders. The first week develops dynamical-systems principles and mathematical models; the second explores recent research on brain activity and behaviour. Lectures address cellular computation, nonlinear dynamics, criticality in neural circuits and cognitive dynamics. The school targets South American master’s and PhD students in physics, mathematics, engineering and biology, while also welcoming motivated senior undergraduates and postdocs. Poster abstracts are encouraged. There is no registration fee, and limited travel and local-expense support is available.
