Connectionists: Dec 6: Panel on Network Neuroscience

[IU Network Science]

Network Neuroscience Panel Discussion
Friday, December 6 at 11 am ET (New York)
Sponsored by AccelNet-MultiNet (https://www.accelnet-multinet.org/)

Join us for an engaging panel featuring leading experts in network neuroscience. This conversation will delve into recent advances in network science to analyze and model brain systems. Key topics will include the use of multilayer networks to model brain networks across different scales and levels, as well as network controllability and its potential to transform how we predict and influence neural states. The conversation will also examine the interplay between network neuroscience and AI, highlighting how brain network models inform AI algorithms and how AI is reshaping brain research.

This panel offers a rare opportunity to hear thought-provoking exchanges between pioneers at the forefront of neuroscience and network science, offering system-based insights into understanding brain structure and function.

Featuring: Fabrizio De Vico Fallani (moderator), Dani Bassett, Petra Vértes, Linda Douw and Bratislav Misic.

* Professor Dani S. Bassett is is the J. Peter Skirkanich Professor at the University of Pennsylvania, with appointments in the Departments of Bioengineering, Electrical & Systems Engineering, Physics & Astronomy, Neurology, and Psychiatry. They are also an external professor of the Santa Fe Institute. Bassett is most well-known for blending neural and systems engineering to identify fundamental mechanisms of cognition and disease in human brain networks.
* Professor Petra Vértes is Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Cambridge University, where she leads the Systems and Computational Neuroscience group. Her research applies tools from physics, engineering and network science to fundamental problems in neuroscience and mental health. In particular, she is interested in the structure-function relationship in brain networks, from the microscopic scale of neurons to the large-scale connectivity of brain regions, in both health and disease.
* Professor Linda Douw is a Professor at Amsterdam University Medical School in Neuroscience and Anatomy and Neurosciences. Her research section on Multiscale Network Neuroscience (at the department of Anatomy and Neurosciences at Amsterdam UMC) aims to improve glioma patient outcomes by understanding and manipulating personalized multiscale network data.
* Professor Bratislav Misic leads the Network Neuroscience Lab at McGill University and investigates how cognitive operations and complex behaviour emerge from the connections and interactions among brain areas. The goal of this research is to quantify the effects of disease on brain structure and function.
* Fabrizio de Vico Fallani (moderator) is INRIA Head of Research at the Paris Brain Spine Institute (ICM). He currently leads the multidisciplinary NERV lab working on the analysis and modeling of brain functioning from a system perspective. Theoretical developments are in the field of network theory and signal processing adapted to neuroimaging data. Applications range from the study of brain diseases (eg, stroke, Alzheimer) to the development of brain-computer interfaces.
