Symposium CORTICON: From Cortical Microcircuits to Consciousness
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.
Theories of consciousness will be reviewed and challenged by new findings from brain circuits and behavior. 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 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 principal full brain network simulator in EBRAINS for constructing and simulating personalised brain models.
Call for submissions:
CORTICON will host a dense and scientific high class program attracting many renowned scientists and early-career researchers. During the Symposium we are offering young researchers the great opportunity to showcase their work and results.
The Poster session at the Symposium will take place on-site on 13 April 2022 13:30 – 15:00 CET.
Abstract submission deadline: 15 March 2022
