About the
Brain Connectivity
Workshop
The Brain Connectivity Workshop (BCW) is a premier annual international scientific meeting, founded in 2002, dedicated to advancing research in brain connectivity. Its mission is to explore the fundamental principles linking anatomical structure, neural dynamics, and cognitive function, fostering a deeper understanding of the brain as a complex networked system.
BCW provides a unique platform for interdisciplinary collaboration among experts in computational neuroscience, neuroimaging and electrophysiology, and experimental neuroscience. The workshop emphasizes integrative approaches that combine theoretical models, cutting-edge methodologies, and empirical data.
Unlike traditional conferences, BCW adopts a highly interactive format designed to stimulate scientific exchange:
Short presentations (15 minutes, limited to 3 slides) to introduce core ideas succinctly.
Extended discussions (45 minutes following each talk) to critically evaluate concepts, methods, and implications.
This approach encourages rigorous debate, collaborative problem-solving, and the generation of innovative hypotheses, making BCW a catalyst for progress in brain connectivity research.
