Connectionists: Brain Criticality Meeting 2022

[BATTAGLIA Demian]

We are happy to announce that the next conference on “Criticality in Neural Systems 2022: Collective Behavior, Synchronization, and Complexity” will take place at the Porter Neuroscience Research Center (National Institute of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA) from Nov. 7 – 9th, 2022 (shortly before the SFN Meeting, San Diego)


The conference will be held in a hybrid format, both in presence at NIH Bethesda and via Zoom. Presentations by the invited speakers, with ample time for discussions, including with online participants, will be complemented by a poster session (in presence and online) and by a selection of contributed spotlight presentations.

Keeping line with previous editions of the Brain Criticality conferences series, this conference will present the latest experimental and theoretical advancements in the study of critical phenomena in brain activity and their functional relevance. While preserving emphasis on criticality, this edition will feature as well communications about general collective behavior and dynamic complexity in the brain (and other biological systems).

REGISTRATION IS OPEN AND FREE ON https://braincriticality.org/

Deadline for registration in presence: October 9th
Deadline for virtual registration: October 23rd
Deadline for abstract submission (with spotlight oral preference): October 9th
Deadline for abstract submission (poster only): October 23rd
