Increasingly, the brain’s structure and function are approached from the perspective of complexity and networks, with theoretical and empirical/computational studies that conceptualize the brain as a complex system, composed of elements and interactions that are dynamically and functionally integrated. Network science offers important conceptual tools, insights, and robust computational methods for dynamic network systems’ analyses. At the intersection of networks and brain science, the interdisciplinary field of Network Neuroscience is now addressing a broad range of both basic and applied scientific questions, regarding many aspects of brain architecture and function.</font></p><p style="margin:0px 0pt 12px 10pt;max-width:650pt;line-height:1.4;padding-bottom:5pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><font face="arial, sans-serif">This satellite will provide an opportunity for participants with diverse backgrounds to present cutting-edge research, discuss latest network findings and exchange ideas.</font></p><p style="margin:0px 0pt 12px 10pt;max-width:650pt;line-height:1.4;padding-bottom:5pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><strong><font face="arial, sans-serif">Invited speakers:</font></strong></p><ul style="max-width:650pt;padding-bottom:5pt;margin:12px 0px;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><li style="padding:3px 0px;line-height:1.4"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Maurizio Corbetta (University of Padua, Italy)</font></li><li style="padding:3px 0px;line-height:1.4"><font face="arial, sans-serif">Plamen Ch.
