Brain Modelling Workshop 1: An Introduction to Dynamical Systems
Channel: Luke Tait
Date: 2020-05-06

This seminar is the first session in the workshop "An introduction to modelling of brain dynamics". The aims of the workshop are to introduce the concepts used in modelling the brain using as little mathematics as possible to be accessible to the target audience of researchers with a background in neuroscience/psychology/biology, particularly those interested in large-scale neuroimaging (EEG, MEG, fMRI, etc.)

In this session, I introduce concepts in dynamical systems theory such as ordinary differential equations, steady states, and oscillations ("periodic orbits"). I apply these concepts to a popular model of large-scale brain dynamics called the Wilson-Cowan model.
