The 4th International Summer School in Biomedical Engineering, "Brain connectivity and information transfer", will be held Aug. 13-27, 2009 on Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig.
In recent years, the phenomenon of connectivity has been recognized as a major determinant of brain function. The objective of the International Summer School is to provide in depth education and practical exercises on techniques of computing and analyzing connectivity in the brain, covering both theoretical foundations and practical applications. The International Summer School provides contact with leading experts in the fields and is expected to facilitate the exchange of ideas on latest developments.
[Topics] Anatomical connectivity Functional connectivity between electrophysiological, peripheral and metabolic signals Effective connectivity in the signal and source space of EEG/MEG as well as fMRI Neural mass models and neural field models Applications Validation techniques
