BCW 2021
Event Information
About this Event
The 19th annual Brain Connectivity Workshop will be held virtually on May 25-28, 2021.
Hosted by Dr. Randy McIntosh, Dr. Sean Hill & Dr. Olaf Sporns
Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) has been going for 19 years now (http://www.brain-connectivity-workshop.org/) 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's inception, and has always resulted in extensive and invigorating debate.
As an essential part of BCW 2021, 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?
