information

The annual Barcelona Computational, Cognitive and Systems Neuroscience (BARCCSYN) meeting is about bringing together researchers from computational, systems and cognitive neuroscience. Our goal is to provide a forum for lively discussion and promote active collaboration between Barcelona-based research groups, especially between theorists and experimentalists.
 
This is the 11th annual Barccsyn conference.  The conference will be held on May 25 and 26, 2023, at the Institut d’Estudis Catalans.  Each day we will have 8-10 brief oral presentations from local researchers, a poster session and two longer keynote lectures from two renowned researchers from abroad.
 
BARCCSYN 2023 is the first edition organised by the section Neurociència computacional i de sistemes that belongs to the Societat Catalana de Biologia and Societat Catalana de Matemàtiques.

Keynote speakers

Emergence of organization and computation in neural circuits across scales

Julijana Gjorgjieva

Julijana Gjorgjieva

Technische Universität München

Professor Gjorgjieva conducts research in the fields of computational and theoretical neuroscience. She is interested in how brain circuits become tuned to maintain a balance between constant change as we learn new things, and robustness to produce reliable behavior. In particular, she concentrates on two aspects of neural circuit organization, looking at how it emerges from the interaction of neuronal and synaptic properties during development, and from optimality and energy conservation principles that operate over the longer timescales of evolution.

Professor Gjorgjieva studied mathematics at Harvey Mudd College in California, USA. After obtaining a PhD in Applied Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in 2011, she spent five years in the USA as a postdoctoral research fellow at Harvard University and Brandeis University, supported by grants from the Swartz Foundation and the Burroughs-Wellcome Fund. In 2016, she set up an independent research group at the Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt and joined TUM as an assistant professor shortly after as part of the MaxPlanck@TUM program. She received tenure and joined TUM as a full professor in 2022. She is also a member of the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Munich.

Maurizio Mattia

Maurizio Mattia

Italian National Institute of Health (ISS)

Professor Mattia is a physicist with a PhD in Neurophysiology, holding a permanent Researcher position at the National Centre for Radiation Protection and Computational Physics of the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (Italian Institute of Health, Rome). His main interest is in bridging the gap between theory and experimental evidence on cortical network dynamics, by developing innovative data analyses and computational approaches.
