International Workshop on Synchronization and Multiscale Complex Dynamics in the Brain

Progress in understanding the global organization of brain functions has remained elusive up to now. Indeed, normal operation of the brain is characterized by complex dynamics at multiple temporal and spatial scales. Although different experimental techniques exist (microelectrode recordings, EEG, MEG, and fMRI, among others), a simultaneous monitoring of the different scales is still scarce. Interpretation of the data coming from such experiments requires a thorough understanding of how different scales integrate in a complex dynamical system. Within this context, the purpose of this workshop is to bring together experimental neuroscientists and physicists experienced in the study of multiscale processes, in order to help bridge the gap currently existing between theoretical and experimental approaches.
