      Fingerprints of brain dynamics estimated from neuroimaging data
      and application to discrimination between individuals, tasks
      and/or conditions

CNS 2017 in Antwerp (Belgium) <http://www.cnsorg.org/cns-2017>
19 July 2017


The functioning of the brain relies on detailed interactions between 
specialised neuronal subsystems, implementing joint segregation and 
integration of information such as sensory stimuli, memory tokens and 
intentions. Nowadays, neuroimaging techniques (fMRI, EEG, MEG, etc.) 
provide indirect measurements of the neuronal activity at the 
whole-brain level. Recent efforts have focused on extracting 
fingerprints of the measured brain dynamics to discriminate between 
tasks, conditions (e.g., sleep vs. awake) or individuals. For example, 
given a dynamic network model, whole-brain effective connectivity 
describes the interaction scheme between regions for each condition, 
which can be quantitatively compared. The goal of this workshop is to 
review both data-analysis methods and model-based approaches that have 
attacked this problem.
