DIEP seminar by Rodrigo Cofré
The analysis of brain network dynamics provides an insightful perspective to analyze the dynamic reconfiguration in brain network structure across species to investigate its role during the loss of consciousness. Recent work has highlighted the importance of the dynamical aspect in understanding the functional relevance of alterations in this network structure to investigate how the brain supports consciousness. In this talk, my idea is to fly over a set of ideas and recent results to discuss the problems associated with data analysis in the temporal dimension. I will show and discuss applications of the k-means clustering approach, entropy and entropy production. I will show convergent and complementary results between different methods of investigating the dynamical aspects of the structure-function relationship during the loss of consciousness.
Rodrigo Cofré is a scientist at the Inria Centre at Université Côte d’Azur, working on neuroscience and the mathematical modeling of the brain. His research explores how neural networks give rise to cognition and behavior, with a particular focus on brain dynamics across different states of consciousness, including sleep, anesthesia, disorders of consciousness, and psychedelic states. His work combines theoretical modeling with experimental data to study emergent collective dynamics in large-scale brain systems.
