<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times","serif"">The <b>Brain States: </b></span><b><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Times","serif"">Characterization and Neuromodulation by DBS</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times","serif""> will take
place on November 11-13, 2015 in Cologne, Germany. This is an interdisciplinary meeting with leading experts in academia and medicine who will present physiological, computational and clinical approaches to the brain dynamics and brain mechanics of complex
functional networks in the brain. Transformations of the </span><span lang="EN" style="font-family:"Times","serif"">neurodynamic operations of the brain between the normal to the pathological state will be explored using
</span><span style="font-family:"Times","serif"">multivariate data analysis (EEG, MEG, DBS, etc…). Special attention will be given to next-generation approaches which allow the collaboration of clinical practice and science to advance the field from principles
of organization to the causal control of function.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times","serif"">Please note: registration will be limited to encourage open discussion.
