Presentation: New methods for functional brain connectivity discovery using EEG-tomographies
Abstract: EEG can be used for the estimation of massive time series of electric neuronal activity distributed on the cortical surface. We present methods for estimating intracortical connectivity:
1. Pairwise electrophysiological lagged connectivity: https://arxiv.org/abs/0711.1455
2. Cortical senders, hubs, receivers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1009.0796
4. Distributed electrophysiological cortical networks (electrophysiological Resting State Networks and Any State Networks, across space, time, frequencies): https://arxiv.org/abs/1103.2852
5. Cortical current source connectivity by means of partial coherence fields: https://arxiv.org/abs/1108.0251
Special needs: daytime refreshments: nihonshu & biru
nighttime refreshments: shochu & whiskey
(please do not bring water, due to accute hydrophobia)

Presentation: MUA-LFP coupling based on neuronal population processing in rat auditory cortex : laminar-dependent functional properties
Abstract: The large-scale electrophysiological recording in animal brain by using the multi-microelectrode array is important to make a bridge on different scales: micro-scale and macro-scale. However, relationship between local field potentials (LFPs) and multi-unit activity (MUA) in rat A1 has been poorly understood. We proposed a new method to evaluate neuronal populations which are codifying the sound attributes. We explored to understand the population dynamics by using time-frequency analysis. We found laminar-dependent spectrum contents in rat A1. Such laminar-dependent function can be essential to understand EEG/MEG data from physiological point of view.

Presentation: Forget about theory: practical problems in the application of pair-wise causality
Abstract: Some silly examples where I will demonstrate that... I know nothing about pair-wise causality.
Special needs: I love Japanese culture so much!
I would like to have a geisha performance during nighttime at the International Time Series Center
It may combine well with the shochu & whiskey
