Critical Transitions in Complex Dynamical Systems: Theory and Implications for Neuroscience - Class 1

Learn about critical transitions in complex dynamical systems through a comprehensive lecture from the ICTP-SAIFR School on Synchronization, delivered by Professor Ulrike Feudel from the University of Oldenburg, Germany. Explore fundamental theories and their implications for neuroscience, focusing on synchronization patterns, complex networks, and metastability in neural systems. Delve into the analysis of perturbations to single nodes and their effects on network dynamics, while examining the role of transient dynamics in neuroscientific applications. Part of a broader series on synchronization phenomena ranging from collective motion to brain dynamics, this 89-minute lecture provides essential insights for researchers and students interested in dynamical systems and their applications in neuroscience.
