Sebastiano Stramaglia. Ikerbasque Visiting Professor. BioCruces. Bari University, Italy Neuroimaging Methods for Systems Neuroscience and Disease: Insights from Information Theory and Causality Jan 28, 2014. 8.30am Contemporary neuroimaging methods can shed light on the basis of human neural and cognitive specializations, with important implications for neuroscience and medicine. Human brain shows properties of both segregation and integration; the first property accounts for its modularity and specialization, whilst the integration is […]

Marcos J. Arauzo-Bravo Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine. Muenster, Germany Development of computational tools for understanding the crosstalk between genetic and epigenetic networks Fri Feb 8, 2013. 1.00pm We develop computational biology tools which help to close the gap between the biological and computational way of explaining biological problems. We use such tools to understand the complexity of the hidden DNA language that codifies the regulation of the gene […]

Dr Joaquin Goñi Indiana University, USA Complex Systems in Neuroscience Thu Sept 13, 2012. 1.00pm Advanced neuroimaging techniques permit to get estimates of neural organization, connectivity and functioning within the human brain. In the last years, there is an increasing evidence that these aspects are not independent of each other but closely inter-related both in healthy and in impaired conditions. By using different frameworks, mainly Network theory, Information theory and […]
NIPS-2011 Satellite Meeting on CAUSAL GRAPHS: LINKING BRAIN STRUCTURE TO FUNCTION Dec 11, 2011. Carmen de la Victoria, Granada Single-day workshop funded by CEI BIOTIC and GENIL, grant IMS-2010-1 Organizers Institutions in Granada University: Departamento de Ciencias de la Computacion e Inteligencia Artificial (Jesus M Cortes) and Institute Carlos I for Theoretical and Computational Physics (Miguel A Munoz) The Workshop “Causal Graphs: Linking Brain Structure to Function” is over and […]
Dr Serafim Rodrigues Centre for Robotics and Neural Systems. Plymouth University, UK Model reductions, excitability and application to granule cells Mon Dec 5, 2011. 12.00am This talk aims to provide some insight about neuronal model reductions and understand the mathematical origin of excitability. To do so, techniques from singular perturbation theory applied to slow-fast systems will be recalled. We will apply these techniques to the standard Hodgkin-Huxley model, showing how […]

Dr Mathieu Desroches University of Bristol, UK Numerical continuation: theory, implementation and recent advances Wed June 29, 2011. 11.00am In this talk, I will introduce the basics of numerical continuation, which is a family of schemes allowing to compute branches of solutions of nonlinear equations depending on one or several parameters. I will explain the theoretical grounds of this method as well as its numerical implementation to compute branches of […]
Dr Serafim Rodrigues University of Bristol, UK A mathematical and computational paradigm to compute stability boundaries and bifurcations directly from data in closed-loop experiments Tue June 28, 2011. 11.00am I will present a novel paradigm that enables to track unstable states and transitions between qualitatively different dynamics from noisy experimental data. These data are recorded from real-time computer-controlled closed-loop experiments such as dynamic-clamp in electrophysiology, HILL systems in electronics and […]
Dr Sebastiano Stramaglia University of Bari, Italy Redundant variables and Granger causality Wed May 4, 2011. 5.30pm An important notion in information theory is the redundancy in a group of variables, usually formalized as a generalization of the mutual information. The application of multivariate Granger causality, in presence of redundant variables, leads to under-estimation of causalities. The notions of redundancy and synergy can be developed in the frame of causality, […]
Dr. Andrea Greve Wales Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience. School of Psychology. Cardiff University, UK Brain Networks: the time and place for network analysis methods in Neuroscience Fri Apr 29, 2011. 11.00am The brain is a highly complex system whose individual components (e.g. nerve cells) are linked by a dense web of intricate connectivity which achieve complex pattern of information transfer that guide our behaviour, shape our thoughts and allow us […]
