International Conference "Computer Methods of Cognitome Analysis"

The conference is aimed at pure mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists interested in applying their knowledge and intuition to the problems of brain-function mechanisms.

The main focus of the conference is the study and analysis of neural circuit dynamics at the cellular level during spatial navigation and episodic memory tasks, as well as their modelling using high-performance and neuromorphic computing units.

We believe that we can inspire early-career researchers in computer science, pure mathematics and physics to devote their efforts to the great scientific problem of the mind. We also want to ignite a new wave of discussion between neurobiologists and computer scientists.

Cognitome is a representation of a brain as a neural hypernetwork structure. In this approach consciousness is a special type of dynamic in this network. One of the main tools to reveal it’s structure and functioning mechanisms is pure mathematics, in particular, algebraic topology, and computer science.

The conference is aimed at mathematicians, physicists and computer scientists interested in applying their knowledge and intuition to the problems of brain-function mechanisms. The main focus of the conference is the studying neural circuit dynamics at the cellular level during spatial navigation and episodic memory tasks (two fundamental mechanisms of cognition), as well as their modelling using high-performance and neuromorphic computing units.
