Mathematics for analyzing brain activity
Mina Teicher (Department of Mathematics and Gonda Brain Research Center, Bar-Ilan University, Israel)
Abstract: Studying the brain and analyzing brain activity is on the forefront of science today. It is connected to Robotics, Artificial intelligence, brain disorders, artificial organs and more. For the last decades, brain scientists believed that the main model to which the brain is subject to is firing rate and did not believe in synchronization. In this talk we will describe a research project that sheds light on the theoretical question how does the brain work, and in particular proves synchronization in brain activity of behaving animals. Moreover, we shall mention briefly few projects in clinical medicine of the brain – epilepsy and sleep disorders.
