Connectionists: Brain Connectivity Workshop 2018 - June 25-27; Stanford, USA

[Tanya Brown]

ABOUT

Founded in 2002, the Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is an annual
international meeting for in-depth discussions of all aspects of brain
connectivity research. This meeting has a unique format in that it features only
short presentations (15 minutes, 3 slides), followed by 45 minutes of intense
discussion. The 17th edition of this workshop, taking place at Stanford
University (June 25-27, 2018), begins with an educational day followed by two
days devoted to presentations and discussions in four domains: anatomy,
physiology and neuroimaging, computational models of brain connectivity, and
clinical problems in relation to connectivity in both psychiatry and neurology.
