The Physics of Thought and Organised FluxA Nonlinear Dynamical Framework for Large-Scale Brain Function
About
The Physics of Thought and Organised FluxA takes place at Radboud University, Nijmegen, on 8 December 2026 at 14:30. The description presents PhD research on brain activity as a dynamic balance between order and flexibility.
What to expect
The description presents PhD research on brain activity as a balance between coordination and variability.
- Uses nonlinear dynamics to study brain activity
- Asks how patterns change with ageing and disease
- Tests whether these patterns can be shaped
- Combines brain models with human recordings
- Healthy ageing shifts brain organisation
- This may contribute to cognitive changes
- Stroke recovery links to flexible coordinated activity
- Computational models show waveform shape steers activity
- Focused ultrasound perturbs deep-brain thalamic relay
- This changes visual cortical network coordination
- Local perturbations can influence large-scale brain dynamics
- Suggests balance between order and flexibility
- May help quantify dysfunction and design interventions
