This online workshop aims at giving an overview of how to simulate with EBRAINS, from the infrastructure level to simulations at multiple scales. It covers a large variety of topics, e.g. computing and data services of or related to the Fenix infrastructure, Neuromorphic Computing, and simulations on a scale from molecules via small and large networks of point or structured spiking neurons to simplified whole brain activity and virtual environments Participants can choose from a large number of sessions what is relevant for them.
This online workshop brings together researchers in the fields of computational neuroscience, machine learning, and neuromorphic engineering to present their work and discuss ways of translating these findings into a better understanding of neural circuits. Topics include artificial and biologically plausible learning algorithms and the dissection of trained spiking circuits toward understanding neural processing. We have a manageable number of talks with ample time for discussions.
The international neuroscience symposium is dedicated to research on the processing of information in the brain. Understanding information processing, thinking, remembering or consciousness are some of the toughest riddles for humankind. Solving them will help us to understand ourselves – as well as dysfunctions in brain and mind occurring from birth or during aging.
The symposiums will bring together neuroscientists with experimental and computational expertise. It aims to bridge the gap from synaptic transmission to cognition. Thus, it will cross borders among neuroscientific disciplines to inspire discussions on state-of-the-art findings about information perception, processing, consolidation and transfer for storage.
Participants are invited for vivid discussions to advance the insight of brain dynamics and information processing.
Registration deadline has been prolonged until November 1, 2022.
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.

The students will form thematic groups to work on predefined subjects, with the help of tutors.
Understanding the brain remains a fascinating challenge that requires the exchange across many disciplines – from the molecular to behavioural sciences – and also involves computational and engineering approaches. In this scientific symposium we bring together researchers from diverse neuroscientific backgrounds who will share their latest insights into neural processing and engage into a lively interdisciplinary debate.
Unser Gehirn ist ein faszinierendes Organ. Täglich werden wir Zeuge seiner komplexen Fähigkeiten, aber seine Funktionsweise ist immer noch nicht vollständig verstanden. Selbst die einfach aufgebauten Nervensysteme kleinerer Tiere, wie etwa von Insekten, stellen uns noch vor große Rätsel. Besonders spannend ist dabei die Frage, wie aus der elektrischen Aktivität von Hunderten bis Millionen von Nervenzellen Verhalten entsteht.

Es ist ein weites Forschungsfeld, wie das Riechen über Rezeptoren in der Nasenschleimhaut bis zur Reizsynthese in der Großhirnrinde funktioniert – während die Erforschung des Sehens schon deutlich weiter vorangeschritten ist. Wie funktioniert Riechen? Warum ist der Geruchssinn besonders anfällig für Infektionen mit CoVid? Inwiefern ist der Geruchssinn mit dem Geschmackssinn verknüpft? Weshalb wird der menschliche Geruchssinn häufig unterschätzt?

Die Frage, wodurch sich menschliches Bewusstsein auszeichnet, gewinnt angesichts der Entwicklungen auf dem Feld der Künstlichen Intelligenz besondere Brisanz. Wie lässt sich künstliche Intelligenz von menschlicher Intelligenz abgrenzen? Kann ein selbstlernendes System ein Bewusstsein entwickeln? Lernen wir in der Interaktion mit Maschinen Neues über unser Mensch-Sein und welche ethischen Fragen werden dabei aufgeworfen? Wie verhält es sich mit der Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Künstlicher Intelligenz, wenn Emotionen ins Spiel kommen?
Eine Veranstaltung im Rahmen der Brain Awareness Week.
Moderne technische und digitale Verfahren erweitern die Möglichkeiten der klinischen Neurophysiologie, klinisch relevante Symptomnetzwerke im Gehirn zu analysieren, zu entschlüsseln und im Rahmen neuer Therapien zu modulieren. Die rasanten Entwicklungen gehen weit über die Optimierung neurophysiologischer Methoden hinaus. Sie haben aus Sicht von Fachleuten das Potenzial, die Neuromedizin im 21. Jahrhundert grundlegend zu revolutionieren. Der DGKN Kongress dient der interdisziplinären Vernetzung und soll dazu beitragen, eine wissenschaftliche Allianz zwischen molekularen und systemischen Neurowissenschaften, Ingenieurwissenschaften, Biologie, Informationstechnologie und klinischer Medizin zu schmieden.
