Critical Transitions in Complex Dynamical Systems: Theory and Implications for Neuroscience - Class 4

Learn about critical transitions in complex dynamical systems through a lecture from the ICTP-SAIFR School on Synchronization series, delivered by Professor Ulrike Feudel from the University of Oldenburg, Germany. Explore theoretical frameworks and their implications for neuroscience, focusing on synchronization and desynchronization patterns in complex networks. Examine how perturbations to single nodes affect network dynamics, and delve into concepts of metastability and transient dynamics specifically relevant to neuroscience applications. Part of a comprehensive school program covering collective motion to brain dynamics, this 96-minute lecture offers advanced insights into the mathematical foundations of dynamic system transitions.
