The 19th annual Brain Connectivity Workshop will be held virtually on May 25-28, 2021. Hosted by <a href="http://www.armcintosh.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr. Randy McIntosh</a>, <a href="https://www.camh.ca/en/science-and-research/science-and-research-staff-directory/seanhill" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr. Sean Hill</a> &amp; <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olaf_Sporns" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Dr. Olaf Sporns</a>Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) has been going for 19 years now (<a href="http://www.brain-connectivity-workshop.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://www.brain-connectivity-workshop.org/</a>) and is the major forum to discuss the theoretical and practical issues relating to brain connectivity. A unique character of the workshop is the format that emphasizes discussion over extensive presentations. Following the tradition of this workshop series, each of the invited speakers in the main workshop limit their presentation to 15 minutes and subsequently leads a thirty minute discussion focused on that topic. This format has been successful since the meeting&#x27;s inception, and has always resulted in extensive and invigorating debate. As an essential part of <a href="https://bcw-2021.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">BCW 2021</a>, the one day educational course will also occur: Five leading experts in this field will deliver introductory lectures on different topics related to Brain Connectivity. In previous years, most of the registrants of the main workshop also attend and contribute to questions in the educational course.This year we will focus on Consciousness and Cognition: What does the mind think of the brain?<a href="https://bcw-2021.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://bcw-2021.com</a>______________________________________________________________________PROGRAM (for full workshop details, please see <a href="https://bcw-2021.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">event website</a>)Educational Sessions<ul><li>Andreea Diaconescu | Bayesian models of Psychiatric Disorders | University of Toronto</li><li>Viktor Jirsa | Dynamical Systems | Aix Marseille University</li><li>Michael Mack | Cognitive Modeling | University of Toronto</li><li>Bratislav Misic | Graphs/Networks | McGill University</li><li>Petra Ritter | Multiscale Imaging/Modeling | Charité University</li></ul>Workshop Speakers<ul><li>Lisa Barrett | Brain-Body Interactions &amp; Allostasis | Northeastern University</li><li>Dani Bassett | Network Control Theory | University of Pennsylvania</li><li>Gustavo Deco | Network Architectures in Cognition | Pompeu Fabra University</li><li>Athena Demertzi | Conscious &amp; Unconscious States | University of Liege</li><li>Emily Finn | Fingerprinting Connectivity &amp; Cognition | Dartmouth College</li><li>Karl Friston | TBD | University College London</li><li>Mike Halassa | Thalamocortical Interactions in Cognition | Massachusetts Institute of Technology</li><li>Biyu Jade He | Perceptual Awareness | New York University</li><li>Sean Hill | TBD | Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, Toronto</li><li>Randy McIntosh | Hidden Repertoires in Cognition | University of Toronto</li><li>Rosalyn Moran | Bayesian Models, Free Energy | Kings College London</li><li>Mac Shine | Modulation of Network Dynamics | University of Sydney</li><li>Enzo Tagliazucchi | Consciousness and Entropy | University of Buenos Aires</li><li>Brandon Turner | Integration of Cognition and Neural Models | Ohio State University</li></ul>______________________________________________________________________Registration is limited...so be sure to register NOW!We look forward to seeing you at BCW 2021!
