Daily seminar and discussion sessions meetings will take place, organized around specific topics, including brain modelling of healthy and clinical brain, geometric modelling of the visual cortex with contact and symplectic geometry, information measures and their use in neuroscience modelling, persistent topology of neuroscience data. These seminars are structured more in the style of informal discussions and presentations that focus more on ideas than on polished details and already established results. They are aimed at developing new interactions between geometry and neuroscience and creating opportunity for new collaborations to develop among the participants, by identifying specific questions and projects.

The activities of this week will be organized  around daily "research seminars", accompaniedby one or two main lectures.

The seminar activities will consist of shorter informal presentations, as well as discussion sessions, round tables and other such open interaction opportunities. The names listed under each daily seminar theme will be responsible for running the activity, while all people attending the event are strongly encouraged to participate in all of these seminars.
