Mystery of the Brain 2019
September 16 – 19, 2019, Neue Aula, Tübingen
The Mystery of the Brain has inspired many bright minds over the past century. A product of natural evolution, the brain remains unbeatable by any man-made machine. The structural complexity and the dynamics of neural network self-organization require multimodal and multidisciplinary approaches providing information at all possible spatiotemporal scales. Sophisticated mathematical tools are a “must” in the path of processing and understanding such multidimensional data, but are currently utterly insufficient in providing true “brain-analogs” in a formal language, or models for driving robots! Data acquisition remains the only promising path, and not surprisingly we have been witnessing massive and impressive developments of experimental tools permitting a direct access to the brain’s mass. This symposium aims to present, discuss and enthusiastically promote multimodal approaches for tackling the Brain-Mysteries.

Congratulations!
In March 2018 two students of our Master Neurosciences program passed a highly competitive international selection process and qualified themselves as members of the International Max Planck Research School for Brain and Behavior (IMPRS). This world-class Ph.D. training and research school unites Universities and Max Planck Institutions in Bonn und Florida.
Our two graduates Petra Mocellin and André Haubrich were ranked among the top three of more than 200 applicants. Great job!
