the Synch.Live Emergence Colloquium with SAME-NeuroID

Everywhere around us, we are surrounded by systems of many parts or individuals which, by working together, show collective behaviours that no individual part can predict alone. We call these phenomena that are "greater than the sum of their parts" emergent. 

Intelligence emerges from neurons in the brain; flocks emerge from many birds flying together; ants communicate with pheromones to architect mounds taller than a human;  cultures, markets and societies emerge from the social interactions of people. All of these behaviours appear without a leader or controller, by self-organisation. 

 Even though these phenomena are so diverse,  complexity science aims to find the common ways in which they work, and uses similar mathematical methods on a multitude of problems. Join us for an afternoon of diverse interdisciplinary discussions about how studying emergence can help us understand nature, society and the brain, and how we may apply these insights to clinical and medical applications!

Agenda:

15:45 Borjan Milinkovich Defining the emergent structure of neural dynamics underlying conscious states.

16:15 Break

16:30 Madalina Sas Together, but not the same: quantifying collective behaviour.

As part of the SAME-NeuroID project, with our partner institustion the Paris Brain Institute, we invite you to join the Synch.Live Emergence Colloquium. The event will be conducted and streamed through the SAME-Match-Treat platform on May 30th at 14:00 CET
