Connectionists: From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness, April 11-13, Paris

[Walter Senn]

Dear all

We would like to invite to the in person symposium

From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness
Institut Catholique de Paris, Paris, France
11-13 April 2022

The Symposium aims at bringing together neuroscientists from the Human Brain Project and invited guests to present their latest achievements in understanding cortical circuits at various scales, including the emergence of consciousness. The involvement of neuronal and neuroglial cells in brain functioning, memory, learning, cognition and consciousness in health and disease will be discussed from the experimental and theoretical perspective.

The Symposium will also address neuroethics and neurophilosophy with links to society in a public key note, followed by a panel discussion by experts. Talks will be recorded and later put online.

It will also offer a hands-on session on The Virtual Brain, the platform of EBRAINS for constructing and simulating personalised brain network models. EBRAINS is the European research infrastructure for gathering, processing and simulating brain data.

We hope to see many of you in Paris at the Institut Catholique de Paris, close to Jardin du Luxembourg, in April 2022.

Walter Senn, Alain Destexhe and Ausra Saudargiene
