Computational Modelling of Dynamic Systems in Psychiatry

Pre-FENS 2026 Satellite Workshop
About this Event

This FENS 2026 Satellite Workshop explores computational modelling approaches to dynamic systems and their applications to psychiatry, neuroscience, and brain dynamics.

The workshop brings together leading researchers working on computational psychiatry, cortical dynamics, machine learning, criticality, neuroimaging, and brain-state modelling.
