ESI TALKS: Dietmar Plenz

At this bi-weekly event, we invite speakers from Neuroscience and related fields to share their current research in an informal and casual environment. The ESITALKS last around 45 minutes, followed by discussions.

We are very happy to invite you to this ESITALKS about

Parabolic avalanche scaling in the synchronization of cortical cell assemblies

This seminar will guide in the form of an open Q&A session through recent advances in identifying scale-invariant order in the synchronization of cortical neurons during ongoing activity and in response to sensory input. From mesoscale activity in non-human primates using local field potentials to neuronal synchronization observed in 2-photon imaging, results on scale-invariant cortical avalanches will be presented with a focus on experimental pitfalls and current limitations. Parabolic avalanche synchronization will be discussed in relation to alternative theories on cortical synchronization and computation.
